We were very fortunate to have the entire family (on my side) together for Thanksgiving, since Christmas will be a no-go. We had fun doing girly crafts (the girls did), eating, movies, talking, and even pulled an all-nighter for Black Friday--something likely not to be repeated again...
After getting back home, it was back to life! We are loving Colorado, especially the great people we are meeting in our ward. It's nice to fit right into the main demographic: 26-34 years old, 2.4 children, etc.
This week, I got to step-up to the preschool teacher plate and have our co-op preschool over. I really think that if I hadn't become a nurse, that my second choice would have been a teacher. I really love getting all ready and thinking of fun little things to do with the kids. My topic for this week was Christmas, so of course we had to do a nativity with the kids. I also made little baby Jesus decorations for each of the kids, so that they would have something special, just for them, to remind them of what Christmas is truly about.
our little Nativity players--a handful of shepherds, Joseph, Mary, a sheep and a donkey
--Logan kind of played the lone wiseman, but lost interest once he gave his gift to Jesus.
You are so creative! I loved your cute Jesus with the star. Doing something like that would intimidate me so much! That's why each Sunday is hard for me with doing Singing Time. Trying to be original, keeping the kids interested, not running out of things to do...etc...
ReplyDeleteSo it sounds like you guys will most likely be staying in Colorado for Christmas then? That will be nice for you guys to just be together. I will definitely let you know how the "quiet book" experience goes at church with Sam. I tell ya I will be a little upset if she doesn't play with it, seeing how much work goes into it. But if she doesn't, I will! Love ya!
Looks like so much fun. I'm glad to see you guys are doing great. We have a Christmas card for you, but I don't have your address- If you could send me an e-mail with you address, I will get it in the mail.
