Advent-week 2/3

I have really enjoyed celebrating advent in so many special ways...I have just found little time to sit down to blog about it! Here is what we did for the past 2 weeks:

Day 8 - Made gingerbread houses...though they ended up being towers. We had some friends over to join in this activity! Our verse was Zechariah 2:10-11.





Day 9 - Jingle Bell's Angel ornament - verse Luke 1:19
Day 10 - Shopping for birthday party presents (we had 3 on Saturday) and Teen Christmas party.
Day 11 - Due to all the birthday parties our original activity was canceled and we spent the day blessing others at birthday parties!
Day 12 - Colors of Faith snowflake ornaments - verse Isaiah 52:7-12





Day 13 - This day we had planned to make a nativity scene with some friends, but they had to cancel and I was not feeling well, so we spent the day watching Christmas movies!
Day 14 - Bake sugar cookies and make cards for our church staff - verse Ecclesiates 3:13



Day 15 - On Wednesdays I watch my friend's little boy, Rhett. Today we took his mom and grandma coffee to their school (they work together) - verse John 13:34-35.


Day 16 - Today we made more cookies for our church staff and our homeschool party.
Day 17 - Today was our homeschool party. We took cookies over to a nursing home to deliver to the residents. We then went to the church and wrapped gifts that we had purchased for a family in need. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. We also went over to our new church to deliver our cookies and cards, but no one was there. Oops...guess I need to learn the office hours! We will deliver them on Sunday. We also went to a waffle party at one of our friend's family's house. It is a tradition they have every year and we are honored to be apart of it! Verse - Psalm 150.
Day 18 - Today we were going to go to a live nativity and donate food to the food bank (admission into the nativity), but Katelyn ended up getting sick and so we had to cancel...poor girl. Verse - Matthew 1:18-25.
