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.
