The ADVENTure of Christmas

We are going through The ADVENTure of Christmas by Lisa Whelchel this month for Advent. I purchased the book last year, but we only did a few of the activities and I was a little scatter-brained about it. This year, I purposed in my heart to make Advent special. T is in Denver from the 1st through the 20th, and Princess M deserves a Mommy who is present - in body, mind and spirit. My house is messy, which is not a good thing because it is on-the-market. Most of the decorations are up, which is wonderful! But most of the boxes are not put away. I even have dirty dishes in the kitchen right now. AH! But you know what? My daughter and I have had a marvelous couple of days. I can catch up on the mundane tasks tomorrow. I've been connecting with my daughter's heart. I'm so excited about it, I've decided to do a daily post on our Advent activities - starting a day late. But, hey, this is me we're talking about! Only one day late is pretty remarkable! (And I started the Advent celebration on time! I'm so proud of myself.)
