I thought for our Fun Friday Photo this week, I’d share with you some of the Advent ornaments my daughter and I have made while going through Truth in the Tinsel.

These are a candle (for the light of the world), Zechariah (isn’t that obvious??!!), and the angel Gabriel.

Some people might see these as craft fails, but going through Scripture and relating an activity is really hitting home with my daughter. I am LOVING this resource and our time together.
