Hanging Christmas Cards

This year I wanted to display the Christmas cards a little differently so i took shiny tinsel type ribbon and strung it on the sides of our old window wall hanging.
Then I took little tiny close pins and am hanging all the pictures.
Easy and Cute.
Thank you everyone for your cards.
Come January we will be praying for all of you "one by one".
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas + Three Fun Teaching Tools

Anyone with kids knows...things take longer sometimes.
Well,
this has been our year to take a little longer getting our cards out.
I just ordered them today, Dec 12th, yikes!

We have been doing a lot of other activities this month to drive home the importance of Christmas and the birth of Jesus.
We have this A-Z advent pre-school young children coloring book where you do a page a day and it's wonderful.
This is the one devotional I've found that i just love and it's only .99 cents on Amazon:)
This year I've had a plan and came prepared for December and it's been so cool to see the kids grow in their knowledge and have more fun as a family.
These are two essential DVD's for Christmas with young children:)
The "Very First Noel" is just a awesome DVD all about the birth of Christ.
It's cute and you can pause and talk about things throughout the movie.

This is another essential DVD for young children:)
"A wowie ... Christmas"  SO cute.
Anyway back to photos the one activity I put off.  We aren't the most photo friendly family, we try but it's hard to get a good photo.
These turned out okay though.
What do you think?
Here's a preview of some photos we just had done.
It was a toss up, which pictures to use.
So I went with the below:)


This is the outcome and to all those close friends out there, I'm hoping to get them to you by Christmas!
Merry Christmas.
What's cool about shutterfly if you post on a blog or facebook you get $10 off your next purchase.  Cool huh.

Since we are going through Proverbs as a family my latest favorite is and this is the NIV Adventure Bible.

"My son, hold on to good sense and the understanding of what is right. Don't let them out of your sight. They will be life for you. They will be like a gracious necklace around your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety. You will not trip and fall, When you lie down you won't be afraid When you lie down you will sleep soundly."

Proverbs 3: 21-24
