Every year we make an ornament, sometimes just for us and sometimes for all their teachers. I will try to remember to post a photo on FB of their favorite for you...a gift box of a baby Jesus. So simple they all contributed, so fun they want to do it again, and so preciously perfect at Christmas.Mama to AWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070145215838593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400964252581759629.post-17161878477934754022011-11-21T20:40:02.869-08:002011-11-21T20:40:02.869-08:00I just ordered the Veggietales kids devo book that...I just ordered the Veggietales kids devo book that you recommended, and am really excited about doing that with my daughters.

One lovely idea I heard years ago was to move baby Jesus a little closer to the stable each night until Christmas. It is so exciting for little ones to have a concrete visual of the greatest gift every given and how joyful they get when they see Jesus in the stable on Christmas morning. Happy Birthday Jesus!!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342748115054905995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400964252581759629.post-62167479758653516302011-11-21T12:06:55.331-08:002011-11-21T12:06:55.331-08:00I love Christmas memories some old & some new ...I love Christmas memories some old & some new ones.
