Yesterday was the last day in the liturgical year. We start a new one today with the start of Advent.
The children have been asking all weekend when we can put up the Christmas tree. I decided we should have a Jesse Tree for Advent though and I think we will decorate it with purple tinsel. I was able to print off all the Jesse Tree symbols from King of Peace website.
I had a very productive day yesterday and felt really good about everything I was able to get done.
Steve and I took Tom, Amelia, Christopher and Joseph to Mass and Adoration in the morning. I then did food shopping, put the shopping away and cooked. I cooked the chicken for Chicken fried rice and made the Satay Chicken pie filling.
I spent the afternoon sewing and then we went to Mass in the evening.
Last night Steve and I watched Toy Soldiers. I really enjoyed it. It was very different though to what I expected. If you want to see a trailer for it, go here.
Today has been quieter than yesterday was. I did a bit more sewing, took the children to the pool and went to the church to pray for a while since I missed my usual prayer hour on Thursday this week.
I hope you all had a great weekend too.
Therese.

Hi Therese. We're doing a Jesse Tree as well - first time for us, and we're really enjoying it! We're using the one from Ann Voskamp's site, at: http://www.aholyexperience.com/2011/11/free-jesse-tree-advent-family-devotional/
It's a lovely book. Hope you are all well - talk to you soon,
Linda.
I'm going to put up my artificial tree tomorrow (Monday) and print off a set of these 'ornaments'.
No good intentions, just action this year.
God bless you Therese
