Advent

This advent we have been reading Ishtar's Odyssey, the fourth book in the series started with Jotham's journey. These are great advent devotionals with a story that really captures that boys interest and gives a different slant on the Christmas story. The book also suggests you try the different foods mentioned in the story - so far we have had Persian meatballs, nougat and baklava -yum.

Amy has had a Christmas book to open after tea every day in advent(we had quite a few and I supplemented these with some from our local library) and a sticker to add onto the nativity scene.
