December Advent Countdown Box

December 1, 2010 By: amyswandering4 Comments

Every year I have good intentions of doing a traditional advent, and every year it sneaks up on me because our Thanksgiving weekend is so full.

A couple of weeks ago I came across Hubbard’s Cubbards Daily Christmas Activity Guide and realized I could start on December 1st instead!

(I realize that is probably a Duh! idea to many, but in my mind a December countdown always involved things like gluing cotton balls to Santa’s beard.)

My wheels started turning and I decided to create a December Advent Countdown Box. I picked up an adorable box at Hobby Lobby with this on the lid: “Every good gift is from above…James 1:17“.

Every night my kiddos will open the box to find these fun activities:

~ Nativity stickers – each will make a stable out of brown paper and they can choose a sticker every day to add to it. (I found mine at Mardel)

~ our Daily Reading (listed below)

~ a silly Christmas joke

~ an activity or craft for the whole family {list coming}

I am making a paper chain out of red & green paper with one key verse per day glued inside. Each day, when they remove a chain and read the verse, they will get a hint of what we will be reading that night.

If you would like to use the verses I chose for my chain, feel free to download them –> HERE <– They are in English Standard Version (ESV).

~Daily Readings~

Day  1 ~ Isaiah 7:14

Day  2 ~ John 1:1-14

Day  3 ~ Luke 1:5-7

Day  4 ~ Luke 1:8-13

Day  5 ~ Luke 1:14-17

Thankful

November 29, 2010 By: amyswandering1 Comment

I hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving week!

We had a lovely dinner with family – about 25 in all. It was a day filled with fun and blessings.

Our week ended with an last-minute trip to Louisiana. My Granddaddy traded his earthly home for a heavenly one last Monday, and his funeral was on Saturday. He was a good, kind man and we look forward to seeing him again someday!

Please pray for my Grandmommie. They were married for 65 years and she has some long, lonely days ahead.

Simple Bread Braid

November 18, 2010 By: amyswanderingcomment

Hubby sent us all a text yesterday morning to remind us that it was National Homemade Bread Day. (I told him it was almost national heart attack day when all three phones started dinging & chirping at once!)

The girls were going to make this scrumptious Simple Bread Braid, which was the first bread I ever made about 17 years ago. They ended up going to work with their Daddy after lunch, so guess who got to make the bread? LOL

This bread is soooooo delicious!! It would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving menu.

{Simple Bread Braid}

1 egg white

1 pkg yeast (2 1/4 t)

1 c milk

4 T butter

3 T sugar

1 t salt

2 1/2 c flour

Beat egg white until stiff, then stir in the yeast. Heat butter, salt, sugar and 1/2 of the milk over med-low heat. Remove from heat and add the rest of the milk. Add milk mixture to the egg white. Mix in flour and let rise for 1 hour.

Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth – you might need to add more flour if it is too sticky. Divide dough into 3 pieces and form into long ropes. Braid the ropes; pinch ends to seal.

Place on lightly greased baking sheet & let rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Brush top of hot bread with butter & enjoy!
