Christmas Traditions

Last year, we started a new tradition and the kids are so excited to see them coming out again this year. I made advent boxes last year and filled them with little sweet treats. Each night, we open one and then read a scripture and "thought for the day" from a free print out I got from a site called the Jesse Tree. The kids love it, it's easy to understand, and it works us through the biblical lineage of Jesus up until his birth starting with Adam.
Last year, the dog got ahold of some of the boxes, so along with making a few new ones this year, I added a little more vintage "bling" to my boxes and I like them even more this year. Such a fun tradition!
