Our Advent Calender!

Hi there! I have been so busy!! I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was wonderful! We had lots to eat and great company.

The boys and I made an Advent Calender and I wanted to share it with you. While searching around Pinterest, I found this great  DIY Advent Calender.
Nicolette Roux with Powerful Mothering shared this wonderful Advent Calender with FREE printable! So we printed it out and colored it! It is already colored, but we don't have color ink. So we gave it our own special touch. Here it is!

I then made my own list of activities to go in each box. I wanted to also share with you my little cards. You can download them here: Advent Activity Cards. 

As well as us doing an Advent Calender, we are going to be doing a Bible Devotion every night. The one we are going to use is Let's Go Straight to Bethlehem by Dr. Ray Pritchard. 

It was published back in 2012. It is an E-book. I have it downloaded on my Kindle Fire. You can find it on Amazon or just Google it. I look forward to going through this walk with my little family! I pray that you find a devotion that is right for your family this year. 

Please leave me a comment down below and don't forget to subscribe!

Later,

To each and everyone who served,
We have a lot we can learn.

Honor, Courage and Commitment

Not For Self, But for Country
Always Ready
Excellence in All We Do

Honor yourself and country. Always have courage. Commit to what is important.
Defend what you believe in and defend our land.
Don't be prideful, but humble and serve others.
Always be ready to serve.
Strive to do the very best in EVERYTHING you do.

Each and every service member is important, no matter what branch.
My father taught me each one of  these lesson and I am teaching them to my children.

Today we honor you, Veteran!
