Advent: 19 December

Friday started very early and we were up doing craft by 8am! Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for the hairband kit - we loved making it and wearing it.

Jesse Tree Activity

Yesterday's story (which I didn't do) was Isaiah 9:6:
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I've been thinking of activities and next year would probably do something relating to names...

24 Books

Today's book was a simple retelling of the Nativity story. Zoë's learning to 'read' to herself and it's lovely listening to her.

Lolly Sticks

Today's stick suggested 'Go to the zoo', but we decided to go to Waddesdon with friends instead. It was another cold evening, but we had lots of fun!

Jesse Tree Story

Another amazing verse for the 'story' this evening and Steve was out at the Youth Group, leaving me to try and work out what he had planned...

They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

Matthew 2:5-6 

Mummy Time

Tonight was spent catching up on my blog posts from this week! Sorry I've let things slip... I've been trying to catch up on life and have just run out of time to write. But here they are now!
