"Today . . .

. . . we light the first candle, the Prophet's candle, pointing to God's promise of Jesus."

That was Little Lion's line for this mornings lighting of the Advent wreath at church. He did AWESOME! I was so proud of him. No stumbling, no stage fright, he spoke loud and clear and slowly.
We were so honored to be asked to participate. Advent was new to me when Daddy Lion and I married, and I have so enjoyed it becoming part of our family tradition. I even learn something new every year!

So as you prepare for the Christmas season, remember it's not just our homes, but our hearts we must prepare!
Just had to share this sweet pic of Little Pumpkin in her dress Lolly made! I got so many compliments ~ Lolly you should open a shop! Thank you for talent and time.

  6. Love the dress. She is looking more like a little girl than a baby everyday. We also lit the first candle of advent today.
