Saturday we went to a Birthday Party for Jesus. It was so much fun (not to mention that it stresses why we celebrate Christmas!). The kids got to color a picture for Jesus and then we tied them to balloons and released them for Jesus. We then had cake and ice cream and then we wrapped gifts. Each child brought gifts for children from our Angel Tree at church...the boys brought for a 5 yr old boy and the girls for a 4 yr old girl. It was such a great opportunity to help the boys understand that Christmas is about Jesus' birthday and about giving to others. The kids really had a great time! On the way home, Hunter was very concerned. He said, "The balloons didn't have rocket boosters...I don't think they will get through space to heaven to get to Jesus." Wow, he really had thought about that. I just told him that I am sure Jesus appreciates our presents.
Sunday was Garrett's Christmas program for preschool. He was an absolutely adorable shepherd. (I will try to post a picture soon!) And in true Garrett fashion, he kept pulling on his costume and fidgeting. He disappeared at one time, and then he began to pick his nose. Keep in mind, he was on the front row, so everyone could see him. But, he was singing his little heart out. I asked if he had fun, and he said, "No, I didn't get to talk into the microphone!" Maybe next year!
Oh...we got SNOW!!! Only a dusting, but still, white flakes were falling from the sky much of the day yesterday. Hunter was perplexed. He wanted to know how could it be snowing if it was not winter? I just giggle and smile! He is such a thinker! But this weather is so crazy...by Monday it will be close to 70 degrees again. So much for the snow!
Maybe this weekend we will finish up shopping and get our tree up and decorated.
