It's Christmas Eve here! We are busy doing family stuff, but I wanted to share a bit of our day with loved ones who might be checking the blog! We love you and miss you! Merry Christmas!
We finished up our two advent calenders today. The sticker scene, from Grandma Arlette, is seen in the background. The ornament one, from Grandma Coral, gave us a second toy rocking horse ornament today. Here Jonathan is showing us the both of them.
The ornament advent calender has given us a lot of cute ornaments for our tree -- a train, a candy cane, a couple of snowmen, an angel and even a manger scene.
We just have a little fake tree, so I'm happy to put it up high on the counter and avoid the junk stress of little hands pulling things off every day. Joshua would sure love to get his hands on it though!
He LOVES it when someone takes compassion on him and picks him up so he can see the tree and the lights up close!
So Jonathan did a little manger scene art project today. (Becky, this is from the curriculum you sent us. Thanks!) After we pasted Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus on, Jonathan said "But where are the animals?" He answered his own question...."I know! We can make some!" What you see here is "A turtle....a special turtle....a VERY special turtle," and a "special snake," and a "special worm," and a bird and another snake. Who said only cows and donkeys and sheep could be with Baby Jesus in the stable that night?
