The Advent Calendar




We have had the best time this year celebrating the Advent season and preparing for Christmas!  Our dear friend, Ms. Chandel, gave Sam a special advent calendar this year.  It was a bag full of surprises and every day there was a package for Sam.  Each day had a scripture reading and a present.  Some of the presents were for Sam,  some of them were for him to give to others, and some of them were projects for us to do.  It was a fun way to show him that Christmas is about more than just receiving gifts.  Thanks, Ms. Chandel!  I took some pictures of the surprises, but most of the time, I didn't have the camera handy!
