A Month of Celebration

Christmas is almost here...

It's been fun celebrating our Savior's birth this month. We've enjoyed our devotions from Luke, and reading a book that explains the Christmas story in a way kids can really relate to.

We also have some fun traditions to set apart this time of year from the rest.

Our newest tradition: picking out our Christmas tree at a local u-cut tree farm:

Should we pick this one? Elise thinks so!

This one is more like it!

Watching Daddy cut down the tree!

Decorating the tree:
Gingerbread houses and cookies:

Elise is trying desperately to get the candy!

Finished product!

Elise's first year decorating gingerbread cookies! Watch video clip below!

To keep our hearts focused on Jesus during this season, I remind the children that we do all these things to celebrate the most important birthday of all!
