"We wait as we prepare our hearts for Jesus..."
We started off the week with a wonderful blessing of the Advent Wreaths... what a lovely week to continue the prayers of thanks as we prepare our hearts and wait for the coming of Jesus...
We have begun to delve into Advent and learn the symbols, meanings, colors and wonderment of Advent. We made an advent chain to help us prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. Each day we take a piece of the chain off and read it. Each chain link has something special that we can do to prepare our hearts. We are journaling about this experience. On the last day before Christmas break (Friday) we will wrap this journal up. This is our present to Jesus for his birthday. The students will open it up on Christmas day and together as a family you can read all the different ways that they have been preparing their hearts for this day! :) What a beautiful gift for Jesus!

I hope that everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving with your families...filled with laughter and memories to hold close to your heart.
We had a beautiful Feast here in the first grade. Thank you to everyone that donated food, attended our event, and prayed for our meal. Here are some pictures from our blessed day celebrated between classmates, friends and family!
A huge thank you to all of the grandparents who were able to come and share their love with us at school last week. It was truly beautiful to see everyone share in Mass together.

Brayden was baptised this weekend. Brayden's Godparents flew in to help us celebrate this blessed time in our lives. I wanted to share a few photos with you...
