Joy's of Christmas - Day 15

 OH, please tell me I am not the only one who hates gift bags and mismatched paper.  I am very particular about my Christmas wrapping paper, ribbon and tags.  I guess if I waited until Christmas Eve to wrap the gifts it would not make any difference about the paper but since I wrap as I buy I like it to be just as nice as the gifts inside.   Please tell me I am not the only one like this. :) 
To get those packages looking so pretty I had to hire some creative little elves to help me.  They like wrinkles paper and lots & lots of tape.   And the also wrap a "gift" and immediately open it again.  It is very entertaining for them, Yeah!

Joy's of Christmas - Day 11

Seeing this kinda makes you wonder what the animals thought when they looked in their manger and saw a tiny human laying there.  I read "The Crippled Lamb" by Max Lucado  to my junior children, it gives just a little glimpse at what this animals must have thought. I am so glad they were willing to share their shelter and manger with a tiny new born KING.

Christmas Party-Part 2

 I made bags of Reindeer Noses to give to the guest as they left, as you will see in the bottom photo(sorry they got out of order).  I also made Magic Reindeer Food more the kiddos to sprinkle on the lawn on Christmas Eve.
 We had a few photo props which the kids enjoyed, very much.  And yes that is Miss Payton (many of you readers will remember her.)

 Miss Piper found someone willing to read to her, Thanks Sabrina, so glad you and Danny came.
