I figured that with posting the video from our pageant I should also post the words our little ones said!! So here goes! First off Zander and his portion of the nativity story:

From Luke 2 (though we dropped a line or so)… In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration. 

Emanuel’s little poemy thing (that Trinity does know a bit too!)…

Jesus is sleeping *shh shh*

Asleep in the manger *shh shh*

Mary and Joseph look down and pray

On this special Christmas day

So it was back to relative Advent normal this morning… houses to colour for our village (and a boat load of laminating for mommy who had gotten behind!)… and a new craft. I honestly had thought we had run out of ways to make snowflakes but this is VERY cute! Though we substituted the sticky tack with hot glue for more permanence. 

Of course NONE of them showing the gems but they ARE pretty

We are but a week away from our Christmas party here at the house. Something we are ALL looking forward to. I have a cake to bake, a house to tidy… a couple last minute presents to complete… at least the list is not horrible in length!

And a success! Zander with a full page and a half of CORRECT printing practice!

The weekly freebie from Currclick is a fun one! It is a series of Christmas themed word searches – easy level! Check it out here! I printed them out two to a page and made a mini book for the boys to do as they wanted over the week! If you are looking for a bit of a twist on the colour by numbers… here is a colour by words! You can download it here. 

Gavin used one of Emanuel’s Lego books and made a rainbow collection of the dinosaurs. 

I do believe he made 5 in total! Gavin is REALLY good at following instructions to make these sorts of things

I made a run out to Dollarama with Karyn and Lauralee today. They have lovely Christmas themed gift bags for only .50 cents a piece AND we needed socks for tomorrow’s craft. But tonight it was Emanuel’s night… the company I ordered his mini activity pack is revamping so you can’t order from them but I lucked out and got the Christmas themed one before that occurred. It has a couple activities and some reading. Today we did the paper chain activity… 13 days until Christmas!! 

Proud Daddy AND son!

Fat Sheep is still updating her blog! so be sure to check her out HERE. And here is a girly picture just to round out the images for tonight.

Working together (note the crown still there!)

Sadly the video of the pageant is going to have to follow late tonight/early tomorrow morning… it is a HUGE file and slowly loading on Youtube… BUT enjoy this little informational about snowflakes! We did!
