From a beautiful pamphlet we received at a Advent reflection service at church on Tuesday night:
"Advent-- 'the coming'-- refers to the four-week season of preparation for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day and the anticipation of His coming again. Advent begins the Sunday nearest November 30 and continues until December 24.
Advent is a time to pray, a time to wait, and a time to hope. It is also a time to serve. Advent is a time to prepare our hearts to become like little mangers, waiting to receive our Infant King. With the Church, we observe this holy season with Advent wreaths, candles, calendars, and more!"
Our special Advent activities today included making our Advent calendar and continuing with our Jesse Tree ornaments.
I also posted about some things we have done for Advent in my Make Life Meaningful Monday post here.

I haven't done much for Advent this year. The kids made an Advent Chain at Church and we have Advent Calenders. I miss lighting candles, though.
Wonderful post with lovely pictures Lisa! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your day.

We haven't done much for Advent this year and it makes me sad. :/ I love seeing all of the things you are doing with your adorable kids Lisa. I hope this is a wonderful time for you all, full of love and memories.
Very nice photos and great post!
