Celebrating Advent

This year, the kids did all of the Advent prep.

 

 

Matthew took care of the Jesse Tree.

 

Gabriel found the Christmas stockings.

 

The "hired help".

 

Johnny managed the advent wreath

(even had the right color of candles this year!)

 

 

Marianna and Therese colored their own set of

Jesse Tree ornaments for their room...

 

 

while I worked on making new Jesse Tree ornaments

from this book .

 

We were all set before the First Sunday of Advent.

That's some kind of record for this family!
