Advent begins today. We had our first advent service at Kelli's house tonight. She was a wonderful hostess and it was a great evening. I really enjoyed Palmer's explanation of advent and the advent wreath. I never knew the history or the symbolism behind the advent wreath. We always lit one at church every Sunday of advent, but I never knew why. It's inspired me to get one for our house. I'd been trying to decide on a Christmas center piece for the dining room table. I'm looking forward to eating by the light of the wreath each night and explaining it to Riley. So, now my morning plans for tomorrow will be to shop for a wreath and candles with the boys. The tree is up, the house is decorated, and the Christmas music has been playing.
Jen and I just finished watching our weekly hour of tv. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is, in my opinion, the best show that has ever been on tv. We taped it so that we could watch it after our advent service.
That's enough for tonight.
