With only four days to go, we are actually doing ok on our to-dos.
1. Christmas presents bought and wrapped
2. Christmas cookies baked and hidden
3. Christmas menu planned
(Beef bourguignon, Persian food night, hot chocolate pie, possibly a rum cake...)
3. Christmas activities planned
(Breakfast with Santa, Dude Perfect trick shots, surprise game from Stephen,
King Tut exhibit...)
4. Christmas story time- We have read about the angel coming to Mary and Joseph, baby Jesus being born, angels visiting the shepherds, and shepherds visiting Jesus. What we have we have left to read yet is baby Jesus at the temple and the wisemen visiting little Jesus. What is neat this year is the boys can read a sentence or two for us from from the Adventure Bible!
The boys know the facts of the Christmas story, but we are having a hard time helping them learn the significance of what Jesus' coming means for us all. I guess the world in general struggles with that lesson...
5. Some of us sick with a cold, but not all of us so that's good.
Some recent photos
Jonah confessed he was joking about feeling sick this morning.
He said he needed a day off from school.
So we are making the best of it and watching a "Muppet Christmas Carol" :)
Yes, their sweaters light up!
Grinch Day on Tuesday
Boys dressed identical to their principal!
