Co-op Christmas Party

 Ready with our treats for the end-of-semester co-op party!

We are SO thankful for our wonderful church homeschool co-op!

Pretzel Treat

We made a yummy and festive treat with pretzels, Rolos, and M&M's!

Cinnamon Ornaments

These are always fun! The ornaments take a couple of hours to bake in the oven so the house smells lovely with this activity!

The ABCs of Christmas: Letter N

The Nativity

We have a few nativities set up around the house for the littles to play with. I always enjoy walking by and noticing that a little person has rearranged the set.  I love how either Jenni or Joshua put baby Jesus in the center. Just precious.

N is for Nutcracker

 Joshua's

Wooden Nativity Set

 Sweet Joshua Gabriel

The littles love the wooden Christmas sets we bought this year. Today they colored the nativity set and have enjoyed playing with it together.

The ABCs of Christmas: Letter M

We didn't get to our "Letter M" craft this year, but that's okay because there is always next year! :) However, one "M" activity we did do was packing a bag full of Christmas wrapped candy for our mailman! The smile on his face when we thanked him for his hard work was just wonderful. The rest of the day we focused on making memories together and watching Christmas movies. :)

The ABCs of Christmas: Letter K

Kris Kringle

We kept today sweet and simple with a fun Christmas movie I enjoyed as a child. We happened to find it at the store so I was excited for the littles to be able to watch it, too.

The ABCs of Christmas: Letter J

Jesus Stories

 We love this book. We bought it for Joshua some Christmases ago and he would ask us to read and re-read about Jesus walking on water. This time, Jenni helped read the stories to everyone. :)

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

We went ahead and had our "Happy Birthday, Jesus" party early knowing we would be out of town. One of the littles favorite traditions!
