December Fun

We had a fun filled December as we looked forward to celebrating Jesus' birthday.  Each day we opened a small box which listed a fun activity for the day.  We took treats to our neighbors, drank hot chocolate, donated toys and food, looked at Christmas lights and much more.  Here are just a few of our other activities.  We also did a Jesse Tree advent book and decorated a small tree with an ornament for each Bible story we read.  I loved watching our kids excitement grow as Christmas approached.  Sylvia told me her favorite thing about Christmas is Jesus!
 
Checking out the stockings (which were hung just within his reach).

Telling the Christmas story with our Little People nativity set.

Decorating our felt Christmas tree.

Undecorating our felt Christmas tree.

Taking a look at our Christmas books.

They picked the first free they saw and it was beautiful.

Most of our decorations were near the top of the tree so Drake couldn't reach them.

I'm not sure I would have gotten our tree decorated without Grandma coming over to help.

Daddy helped the kids decorate ice cream cone Christmas trees.

Taking a closer look at the tree.
The kids helped make Christmas spice cookies.
