Advent Begins

     This week we started Advent in the evenings before bed. The boys really look forward to each night, and start asking to do it around dinnertime. We light the candle(s), read a short devotional, which usually has a short activity to go with it, and pray. Then we add a piece to our nativity advent scene. The boys then take turns picking a Christmas story for us to read before bed. They are just as excited about Advent in the evening as they are about finding Buddy in the morning which is such an encouragement to me. It makes me think we might be doing something right.
