Advent Calendar

We did an advent calendar with the girls this Christmas season and it turned out to be a very good experience. A friend told me about this calendar and I decided to give it a shot. It was pretty neat and I'm glad we did it. I has a 3-D tree that unfolds and each day you read a small devotional and put an ornament on the tree. It basically tells the lineage of Jesus and gives a short synopsis of the whole Old Testament leading up to Jesus' birth. The girls seemed to like it and did a good job paying attention for the most part. However, we did have some rough days where the devotional reading was interrupted with threats of taking toys away if they didn't pay attention, but nonetheless, we persevered and finished it!
