Advent #2

Today we learned that Advent isn't just about preparing for Jesus' birth, which has already happened. It's also about preparing for when Jesus will come again. We also learned this in church last Sunday. We were told to "Stay awake."

Our activity of the day was to make a chain. Everyday from here on out, we get to tear a piece of our chain away until Christmas is here.

Making our chain

Chain on the wall. I quickly learned that this dangling bit of paper is too enticing for a toddler

The moved chain on the wall. It's just hung by push pins, so everyday we can take it down to tear a piece off.
