We've been getting ready for Christmas: attending Christmas parties, sitting on Santa's lap, ice skating, building gingerbread houses (from a kit). But most importantly, we've been trying to teach our children about Christ's entrance into the world. We do that by telling it as a story, learning songs, looking at pictures, watching the LDS Nativity, tomorrow we'll do THE skit. The kids are catching on. They both know, for instance, that an inn is a hotel, that shepherds take care of sheep, and that the sign was a big star in the sky. Today we read a picture book about the birth of Christ. When Logan saw the star shining brightly in the sky, he commented, "Look mom, there's the sign that Jesus was born." I kinda' started to feel emotional at my 5-year-old's simple testimony. Then he said, "But mom, who's holding the sign." Stop, What?(me) "It's a star." (Logan) "Yeah, I see the star, but who's holding it?" Um, (me) "Heavenly Father put the star in sky so everyone would know Jesus was born." (Logan) "Yeah, but you said it's a sign. Who's holding it?"
Merry Christmas ya'll! In trying to keep up with laundry, I failed to send out Christmas cards to everyone this year. May we all feel Christ's love this holiday and throughout the new year.
Joe's firm party for the kids. He had a nice dress-uppy one that night that I got to go to (all dressed up!) but we failed to take pics. They all (happily) sat on Santa's lap, and they printed out pics, but we don't have a scanner. Sorry.
Madison hated it.
Logan loved it. We loved the walker.
