a little busy

so this is one of our christmas pictures to be sent out with our letter. we have been incredibly busy this week and have not gotten to do days 6 and 7, so tonight will include a lot of reading. we are going to assemble our christmas cards to mail out for tomorrow. i was smart and included that task into our 12 days of christmas activities.

hope everone is well and blessed today.

Day 1

this is our #1 day of christmas. we read the very first part of the letter of luke as an intro into the events leading up to mary receiving her visit from the angel telling her of Jesus conception.

preparation day

today is a day to catch up on the things that i didn't get to over the weekend. the girls and i just completed the first two of four productions of The Gospel According to Scrooge. our friday, saturday and sunday were a blur! so, monday was work, school, dinner and homework.

tuesday is bills, tidying around the house, laundry, and christmas preparations!

i will have pictures later when its all finished.

happy doing today!

this is what the boxes look like to start. i will add numbers and goodies inside. i used magnet strips that are adhesive to stick them on the metal cookie sheet, then just put nails through the little holes you see in the handles. These are the tags i put in the boxes. Each one is a part of the Nativity Story out of the Bible. The numbers are on now.
