Thanks for these suggestions. I used the link to the Jesse Tree craft. They asked me to install a plug in. I did it (wasn’t thinking). I just spent an hour fixing my computer. I would highly suggest not installing the plug in.
We did a names of Jesus paper chain a few years ago. We try to switch advent ideas every year so we’re not doing the same thing. We have several books we’ve used and then repeated a few years later. This is such a special time, and observing advent keeps the focus on the anticipation of Christ’s arrival!
Driving in our car this evening my daughter was asking me what all names of Jesus were there, then we come home and here is the post. I’m so excited to do this and spend the whole month going over something my kids are excited about as well. We were also planning on doing a Jesse tree but was running out of time to get all the ornaments together. I just can’t thank you enough!!!!
Thank you for the names of Jesus link. I wanted to do those with my kids this year.

When I click on the Advent boxes it only takes me to an enlarged picture. Am I doing something wrong?
Oops, my mistake. Here’s the correct link: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/2010/12/advent-boxes/
Actually, here is the link: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/2011/11/advent-boxes-giveaway/
Your link was the one from last year…I included more downloads and WAY more pictures in this link. 🙂
Thank you Crystal and Jenae! 🙂
OH the names of Christ Advent Chain is so neat LOVE IT! Thank you for posting all these great ideas because I’m putting together our December devotions leading up to Christmas to keep us more focused on Jesus and family rather than all the gift giving.
