Christmas Advent Day Two

I hope you are all ready for Day 2 of our Christmas Advent! 


 


Isaiah 7: 14 
  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

and 
Alma 7:10
And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

How did Isaiah and Alma know what would happen?
Why is it important that they did?

Christmas Advent Event!

Hi! I am totally excited about the next 25 days! Christmas is more than just a day- it is a season to keep throughout the whole year! A line from my favorite movie

"Where you find LOVE it feels like Christmas!"

I have spent the last couple of years trying out different advents in search of the one for my family. I came to the conclusion that we all are looking for different things in our Christmas celebrations and I am going to share the one I have created with you. 

I don't know if it will be completely the same next year- I am sure many will - but I am hoping that as time goes by I can adapt this to the needs of my family as they come. 

I hope you enjoy it too!!


To begin- you need your calender!

What you will need:

Cardstock
Tape/glue
Garland/String/ Something to hang in up with

Directions:

Print out the calender on the cardstock. Cut out the envelopes on the solid lines and fold on the dotted so that the text is on the INSIDE of the envelope. Tape or glue shut (if you want this reusable you may want to go with the tape)


Next adhere the numbers to the envelopes- you can count up or countdown- your choice!! This year I decided to count up so I could keep track!



Now hang it up!! You are ready to go!!

You could hide them in your tree:


Or on a pretty garland:



I would LOVE to see what you decide to do with it!!! 

**** UPDATE*** Day 16 has the numbers reversed- the scripture should be Isaiah 9:6****

Day One 
(Twenty-Five)

John 3: 16 


Why was Jesus Christ sent to earth?

 

Thanksgiving Day 4

Today I am so thankful for modern medicine- especially ibprofen! My little guy has the flu today- completely no fun! As I am writing this he has been taking a nap for the last 4 hours!!!

He was cranky and ibuprofen helped him feel better- enough to get some good sleep.


i am looking forward to getting my little guy's smile back!!

What is on your list today?

Thanksgiving Day 3

Today I am thankful for my wonderful husband. He works so hard to support our family and it is the little things he says and does that really make my day! He remembers anniversaries and birthdays- sometimes better than be and is the most patient person I have ever met! he is a great dad and loves nothing more that spending time with his family!


This December we will celebrate our 5 year anniversary and I am just so happy to be with my soul-mate for all eternity! 

Love you Honey!

Thanksgiving Day 2

Today I am grateful for my two little guys- Nathan and Ammon. They bring so much joy into my life- their precious smiles, forgiving natures and trusting hope remind me that I need to be more like them then I realize sometimes! Children are the best examples sometimes :) Here are some pics of my boys that I just want to share ;)






What are you thankful for today?
