expectancy and preparation

we started a new tradition of celebrating the season of advent (the season of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ) with lucas and emma this year. so, as part of our celebration, we light our advent wreath and read Scripture, tell the story of Jesus' birth through an advent nativity calendar, and we also give small treats to the kids on each day of advent. lucas is loving all of it and emma is, well, unaware of all of it.
