Third Week of Advent

This morning, we had a celebration and lit the third candle on our Advent Wreath. We lit the pink candle, the candle of love. We are getting our hearts ready for Christmas.

Our dramatic play area has been turned into Santa's workshop. There are many little elves at work in there. We are also lacing some stockings.
