Family Fun

I love this time of year. The time of year when I really get to focus on family and establishing traditions that I hope they will remember and carry with them. We had a great family weekend. We finished decorating our home and spent time partaking in Holiday festivities in Little Rock. It is such a wonderful feeling as a mother to see the joy my children have at this time of year. They are waiting in joyful expectation for Christmas!

Decorating Our Family Tree

They absolutely had a blast decorating the tree, and this was the first year that they actually asked about the meaning of the different ornaments. They were so interested in knowing what the ornament symbolized for our family, and I loved telling them the stories.

It was a weekend full of memories and family togetherness. Although it can be easy to become immersed in the Christmas spirit, we must remember that it is Advent, and our focus should be on preparing our hearts and homes for Christ! We are waiting with hope and joy, for the arrival of Christ on Christmas Morning! Happy Advent!
