Feliz Navidadfrom our house to yours!Our Christmas advent journey

has evolved andtaken on many forms since mykids were tiny. This advent we

use with our kids who arepreschool and teens.

This journey takes on 24 reasonsand verses on why God become

Flesh.So each card should be read as

“Jesus needed to come…”

Feel free to adjust the activities to f ityour schedule. I’ve added extra

cards and blank cards so you canpick and choose what you want

to enjoy as a family.

Most of the activities and versestie together but not all of them.

Though our advent is scripture basedwe wanted to include other activities

like making a gingerbread house andwhat not. As you know there’s no

Scripture basis for that. :) Blessings,

Mari
