Making an Advent Wreath

We've been using a ceramic Advent Wreath that my sister-in-law Vadessa gave us years ago. We love the tradition and how the kids understand a little more every year!

Last Sunday, we went to Madeline and Eli's friends Frances and Walt's church for a kids Christmas craft night and "Hanging of the Green!" It was really fun making the crafts, eating the gingerbread cookies they iced and being with good friends. We came home with all the "fixings" for a homemade advent wreath for us to complete at home. I didn't really think I could do it, but Eli woke up today and wanted to try so he and Madeline could have an Advent Wreath in their room - so out we went with our scissors! It started out as a pie tin with a styrofoam "oasis" and 5 candle wells. It was really pretty easy! And really fun!

Turned out pretty cute! (Don't mind the mess behind Eli!)

I was pretty excited parts of our holly bushes actually some berries!
