Counting down to the TRUE meaning of Christmas*

My mom made this really neat Nativity Advent Calendar for the kids. She has been working on it for a while and brought it over to the kids today along with a book. She has put so much in to this. Thanks Grandma Lu. This Calendar is so sweet and will help the kids remember each day the true meaning of Christmas. Each day they pull out a part of the nativity and start to piece it together. It has all the Wisemen, Shepherds, Angels, Animals, Star, Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus just to name a few of the things. They also get a chocolate coin each day to resemble the gifts given to baby Jesus.

Here is Hannah holding the Palm tree which was the first item they added to the Nativity Scene.


I can't wait to see it all put together with the star and baby Jesus when we get closer to Christmas. The kids think this is so neat and are so excited to see it finished!
