Christmas Fun



We have had a sweet month of December here...busy enjoying Advent and preparing for Christmas.  A few of our fun activities this month...


Candy Cane Pizza

Reindeer Treat Bags (for preschool class)

Reindeer "Lollipops" (for ballet class)

Lollipops all dressed up!

Ornament Wreath (ornaments on wire hanger...so easy!)

Foam Gingerbread Houses!

Handprint Christmas Wreath

Christmas gifts for our small group's "adopted" family

All wrapped up!

My old friend and new neighbor (yay!), Theresa, found this fun nativity on Pinterest, and we decided to try it.  The kids (and their moms) had such a fun time making them.  The angel on top was our addition, and we love how they turned out! 

Gingerbread and Candy Nativity

Kade, Clara, and Ainsley proud of their nativities!

The Jesse Tree has been our newest tradition, and we have really been blessed by our Advent time every night.  During the day, the girls color their ornaments for that day's lesson, and at night, we read the Scripture for the day and hang the ornaments on our "tree".  It has been really sweet reading through the family tree of Christ as we prepare to celebrate Jesus' birthday!

  1. Love the nativity scenes. So cute and creative! And your Jesse tree looks terrific and not complicated. I could totally pull that off. Thanks for sharing. Glad you're having a memorable holiday season.
