CHRISTmas Day


happy birthday JESUS!

James and Maggie love starting CHRISTmas day by singing happy birthday Jesus!! This is a wonderful way to talk about our Lord and Savior and emphasize the beauty of His birth, and the real meaning for the day.
Each year, we keep with our tradition of three gifts, representative of the three gifts Jesus received.
This year they received a slide, puzzles and books. Due to the weather...the indoor slide is a HUGE HIT!!!
 

James & Maggie enjoyed helping their Dada open his gift...

CHRISTmas Eve




James & Maggie chose M&M sugar cookies, apples, cheese & milk as snack options for Santa this year. 
They were very excited about CHRISTmas this year, with lots of questions for how it all happens. 
Trying to keep it simple and remind them of the birthday we would celebrate...
they were just amazed and enjoyed taking it all in!

CHRISTmas Choir



This is James and Maggie's first year in Children's Choir.
They were excited to go to choir each Wednesday Night and learn the wonderful CHRISTmas music.
They were quite comical in their first performance, but knowing they did not scream or cry is GREAT!
