We began our Advent adventure on December 6, 2017. Eli and Andie were excited to get the guys and join in on helping them find baby Jesus. Eli really got into the spirit as he came up with creative ways for the wise men to explore new places in our home.
Day 01: St. Nicholas dropped off our wandering wise men in hopes that we could help them on their journey to find baby Jesus. Eli and Andie were excited to help them as they began their quest and Leo watched with amazement/confusion
Day 02: The men stopped at a local bakery for some tasty treats
Day 03: The guys invested in some not so reliable travel arrangements
Day 04: The wise men are starting to wonder if they're even on the same planet anymore?!? What a journey this will be
Day 05: The boys had to exchange some currency for their traveling
Day 06: Gaspar is excited to be the first one done with his Christmas shopping
Day 07: The men got lost in a sugary red velvet forest
Day 08: The boys stumbled upon a quaint cottage where a beautiful princess was baking something scrumptious
Day 09: The guys met some new friends who offered them a lift
Day 10: Goofy taught the men how to make frosted sugar cookies
Day 11: The guys saw large portraits of the famous Doris and Mr. Bates whom they've been told are gentle giants
Day 12: The guys helped an old friend load up his sleigh for his big adventure in a few days
Day 13: The men encounter the abominable/friendly snowman
Day 14: They were told that the child would be lying in a manger. Close, but this is not the Christ-child
Day 15: Cinderella and Belle invited the guys over for a Christmas feast
Day 16: Eli wanted the guys to help us bake Christmas cookies
Day 17: To keep warm from the bitter cold, a local told the men about a pub that served an interesting concoction that would warm them up. The men were quite pleased with the taste, but not the after effects. Gaspar said he should've brought aspirin for this trip
Day 18: To escape the torturous 2 year old, the men hop aboard a friendly unicorn who will take them a little bit closer to the King
Day 19: The men partied too hard celebrating the new year last night and spent the day drinking hot tea and catching up on Netflix
Day 20: There are signs everywhere pointing them to the right direction
Day 21: They have found Him, the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, the Savior. May we all be overjoyed that our King has come to forgive our sins so we may have eternal life. Matthew 2:10-11 "The sight of the star filled them with delight, and going into the house they saw the child with his mother Mary, and falling to their knees they did him homage. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh."
Thank you for following our journey. As my children grow it has become one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Merry Christmas!!
