Well these pictures are backwards. But... one night for Family Home Evening, we decorated the tree, dressed up the dogs and took some pictures. Here is Haylee, Kevin, Nana, Trent, Momo and Yuki.
Laycee and Logan with the clan.
This is their christmas card picture, or similar to it.
Fredy Rat Elf
So Kevin heard about this book, The Elf on the Shelf. It is about an elf with magical dust who watches over you each day and reports back to Santa each evening. When he comes back while they are sleeping, he finds a new place to watch. It has been very fun for the kids to find his new watch spot each day. I didn't know how I was gonna like the idea at first, but I love it! I am glad Kevin heard about it becuase the kids like it and it gives them a physical item to "watch" them. We have talked about spiritual parallels, so hopefully this fun idea will also double as a teaching moment.
And here are some pictures of the kids decorating the tree.
This as the kick off of our christmas season, and even though I posted these late, this took place nearly 2 weeks ago... so expect the next posts to be about our Christmas fun... or most of them anyway.
