Christmas is Coming...


Well, we've got just more than a week until Christmas. I have been sewing in hopes of getting all of my children outfitted with a new dress clothes for Christmas. It'll be fun to see how everyone looks together in matching outfits. We'll have to post a pic when we get them done and on.

Last night, for Family night, we discussed the True Meaning of Christmas and what we could do to remember that Christ's Birth is the most important part of the day. We had lots of suggestions and talked about making or getting gifts for each other that would follow in line with that idea. We drew names and everyone is going to get $3 to buy, or make, or both; something to give their drawn out name. The kids decided they wanted it to be secret. So, they don't know who is who's Secret Santa's, but the adults know. It's fun teaching the kids about giving and helping them remember the importance of our Savior during this blessed time of year. I think I may start leaving little notes and fun stuff out for the kids to find and help them count down to Christmas....We'll see how this turns out.
