The second light of Advent...

The second light of Advent is the light of plants--
Plants that reach up to the sun, and in breezes dance.





Today we added to our Advent calendar. After church the we went out side with scissors to gather greenery for our spiral. Holly, fir, pine, and red tip leaves now adorn our spiral as well as sage, lavender, santolina and Fidget's favorite, wood sorrel.

We also continued our St. Nicholas celebration. The girls woke this morning to find the boot they had left out the night before filled with goodies. Mom printed out some coloring pages and a matching game for the girls. This evening I shared a few more stories of St. Nick's life, and we sang "Jolly Old St. Nicholas". This was the first time we celebrated St. Nicholas' day. I have enjoyed it.
