More Advent Fun

We've been loving this advent season and have been having fun celebrating this season of anticipation as a family.

Here is some photo evidence of the fun...

For one the of the girls' gifts this year we decided to let them each pick out a gift from the Samaritan's Purse gift catalog to order for someone in need.  One of the verses Claire recently memorized was from Romans 12:13, which says 'Share with God's people who are in need.'  It was really fun for us all to put that into practice as a family.

It was fun looking through the catalog together.  Claire chose to get baby chicks and Emma picked out blankets.

We also made a gingerbread house.  Can you believe this is the first time that both me and Justin have ever done this??  Our sweet friends gave this kit to us so it was pretty easy to put together.  The girls loved it!
