Our favorite part of the day. Lighting the Advent candles and reading Jotham’s Journey by candlelight. After the story the kids all take their bedside candles to light their way up the stairs to bed. A sweet and magical (and somewhat dangerous) moment. PS- We haven’t got around to the traditional wreath and candles yet...

They might not be the most professional looking things, but the kids are pretty proud of their handiwork. What you need: Canning jars(I would have preferred vintage or antique, but new was easier to find last...
