Happy Birthday Jesus......

As it gets closer to Christmas I keep thinking of a good way to teach the girls the real meaning of Christmas-what better than a real birthday party for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? On our to do list:
-Bake a birthday cake for Baby Jesus
-Read the story of Christmas from the Bible
-Wrap a present for Jesus-I asked the girls what they would like to give him and their responses made me smile. Emma said she would give him a hug, so he knows how much she loves him, and Natalie would like to give him a blanket, so that baby Jesus will stay warm. Otherwise she wants to give him a snowball, because snowballs are so fun! Love the responses you get from 5 and 6 year olds :)
-Decorate Cross cookies
-If its not too cold we'll go caroling, and share our cookies!
Stay tuned for pictures!
So what are your plans for christmas and how will you teach your kids the real meaning?
On a side note, if your looking for a church to go to for Christmas please visit ours! They always have a wonderful Christmas service and they have fabulous kid ministry. Heres the link:

So excited to start blogging, this is somthing I have been wanting to do for along time but due to lack of time, and my lack of brains(lately) I just couldnt find the time to get started. So Ive decided today, to sit my butt down in time-out and take time to reflect on my family,my life, my hopes,my dreams and share them with family and friends. This is my life in writing......enjoy :)
