Did you know that "Advent" is derived from the Latin word aventus. It means coming.
And come they did at 6am on December the 1st.
Overflowing with excitement and leaping on our bed shouting "We get to have chocolate for breakfast!".
Not sure that's what the church had in mind all those centuries ago.
Your babes have early morning eyes. So cute. I long to have/make the advent house seen in the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation movie. Do you know the one?
