Christmas Ornaments

Ornaments. We had a day where there was only a handful of kids at preschool. And after we were done with all the planned activities, we found ourselves with some time to spare.

So we colored some nativity ornaments. (I only had 5 ornaments--perfect for only 5 kids :) Not everyone had put up there Christmas trees yet, but we talked about how ornaments hang on the beautiful branches. Christmas is about Love and creating that Love. And what better way to remember the reason for the season than a cute ornament.

A Nativity Field trip and Dress-up....December 4, 2009

This year I added a rather unique and wonderful field trip to the line up. We toured the Creche Exhibit held at the LDS stake center on the South Hill. There were so many things to see and I'm sure every parent was on alert for roaming hands and fingers, but we made it through with no surprises. At the end of the tour, we headed for the children's room and several of the kids were excited to dress-up in front of the stable backdrop. Sydney H was "Mary", Abby was a Wise"child", Macy and Jessica were angels (in every way), Zachary was a reluctant shepherd, and Samuel loved his role as one of the Kings. We started the Christmas off with the real reason for the season.
