Christmas Moments

I love Christmas time! Of course I love celebrating the Birth of our Savior! But I also just really love all the moments that come with Christmas. I grew up with many family traditions when it comes to Holidays, and I have many great memories. For our family we have carried over those traditions and we have made some new ones on our own.

This year we decided to do a hands on activity to discuss Christs Birth with the kids. We plan on doing this every year. As Christmas was approaching we picked an evening and as a Family we put together a Puzzle of the Nativity scene. We then let Joshua Wayne tell us what he saw in the puzzle. Janna listened to him as he told the Christmas story in his own words! It was so precious!

Him telling the story :)
Not sure why the picture will not turn...but here we are putting the puzzle together.

He thought it was so cool that Santa came to his school.

Every year we go looking at Christmas Lights with the kids, this year we went on a tuesday and stopped at one of our new favorite places to eat Chick-fila. Well we found out that kids meals are free on Tuesdays! We were so very excited! The kids were also excited to see the Chick fila cow dressed up like Santa. I think we will make it a tradition to go on a Tuesday every year so we can get free kids meals.
