It's That Time Again!!!

ADVENT SEASON....

Every Monday night in our house during Advent time...we have a devotion to prepare us for the big EVENT to come on Dec 24/25.....and end it w/a special treat and drink and candle lighting! My wreath is nothing fancy...just the circle green wreath (symbolizing God never changes and is eternal and no beginning and no end) and the candles...3 purple (time to prepare) 1 pink (the joy is near) and white (the day is here)

We've been doing this w/the kids for the past 5 years and realized that the snack/drink comes after devotion! Ha ha....learned the hard way!

Each child gets to help light the candles and blow them out each week!

Tonight's special treat....

Hazelnut Cookies w/hot chocolate for the drink

here's the recipe!!!

One year we did cake balls..my first attempt...the kids loved them!

Cake Balls blog look how little lily was!!!

Each year during the Advent time I try and do a different treat each week...unless kids specify a special favorite. One special drink is the Peppermint Chocolate Milk from Target...I've got to head there tomorrow to grab some for next weeks drink!!!
