Christmas Projects

I'm on vacation, but after Christmas, probably after New Year's,  I will have fun posting pictures of all the fun things I did!  I finished a sweater for a grand-daughter and she loves it!

I started a cap for a grandson but I'm not as sure about it.  I've restarted several times, switching needles and counting to 100 umpteen times, and it may still end up too small. Good thing he has a younger cousin! They both like trains and that's the pattern I am using. 

Nursery Christmas Card

We have our Christmas Lesson

today in  the church Nursery.

For our little ones,

it focuses on Jesus being 

the Son of Heavenly Father. 

To simplify the idea, the picture we use is of Mary and the baby only. We can introduce Joseph as step-daddy later. I love this picture, the way it portrays the bond between Mary and her Heavenly child.

It can be found in the manual "Behold Your Little Ones" at LDS.org.  If you are interested in finding out about our beliefs, another good site is mormon.org.

We are letting the children decorate a Christmas card with foam shapes. We will slip the picture in and they can take it home. 

We did some at Thanksgiving with Christi's family, and the little ones loved it. 

The hands of a two year old. I didn't know how he would do with the markers, but he did great.

 Ginger Giraffe was quite interested.

 Even Mommy got into the act. 

Here are the finished cards. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

From Our House to Yours
