Advent and Christmas links

December 26, 2008 By: magoose Category: faith 1 Comment So Far →

We have truly enjoyed our advent this year!  We spent the last month preparing our hearts and souls by learning more about our faith and traditions.  One way we have done this is using these faith folders.  I just saw on another favorite blog that Lindy now has a 12 days of Christmas faith folder.  I know what is on my list to buy today :)

Our creche adventure.

Pa goose led the way on a wonderful craft project this year.  It was such a wonderful way to pass faith onto the children and really spend some quality time together this advent.

It started with a strange call from pa…”how much money can I spend at the craft store???”  To be honest I wasn’t quite sure who was on the other end of the line!!!  He had done some research and wanted to create a more elaborate nativity this year after a suggestion from a priest friend and several catechists. 

He came home with bags full of goodies and the crafting began!  We all had great fun painting,  creating paper mache mountains and getting messy.

The end result!

Well, it has been quite a while since I have blogged.  This seemed like as good as a time as ever :)

We had a wonderful day today spent with family and a neighbor.  The three youngest goslings are in bed and the rest are watching a movie with dad.  I pray that your day was filled with Christs love.  Enjoy a couple of pictures from our house to yours.
