For a couple of years we used the Adornaments from Family Life. We then used "What God Wants for Christmas" which is an interactive Nativity. Last year we came across a story called "Jotham's Journey: A Storybook for Advent" by Arnold Ytreeide. The kids couldn't wait to read the next day. The story was very engaging and I thought brought all of us into the story of Jesus. This year we are reading the next book which is "Bartholomew's Passage: A Family Story for Advent". There is a third story as well.Mike Allshousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880332.post-31084835251683413542009-12-03T16:55:14.008-08:002009-12-03T16:55:14.008-08:00Our family has been doing the Jesse Tree advent fo...Our family has been doing the Jesse Tree advent for the last few years. The kids LOVE opening the little gift each night, and because we've done it for a little while, they can tell the story based on the ornament.
