Christmas Happenings.

My computer is toast.

So, here is a bit of a Christmas week wrap up via iPhone. Tomorrow will be all about Santa and our birthday party for Jesus!

Here are a few things we've been doing the past few weeks:

Christmas is in the Air.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
around Giggles & Grins!
My FAVORITE time of year!
So our Christmas fun officially started today!

We have a new friend that is visiting us for the
next few weeks. Mr Dane came up with the
perfect name of JOLLY for our magical Elf.
Everyone agreed that it was a perfect name!
So, we would like to introduce you to, Jolly, our
friend from the North Pole.
 
He hangs out everyday during school and keeps an
eye out for Santa. He reports the kids' behavior each
day. He magically flies to the North Pole in the night
and magically reappears each morning. It will be fun to
have this "visitor" each day and hunt for him each morning!
 
Another fun thing we are doing for the next few weeks is reading
LOTS of neat Christmas books! I am wrapping them like presents
and each day a child will take turns to open the "present" and
we will read the book! Today's book is Mary's Baby. It is very
important to me that these kids understand the real reason why
we celebrate Christmas. I tell them that it is Jesus' Birthday!
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!

 
Look at these sweet, HAPPY faces! We had the BEST day today!
Notice the short sleeves and NO jackets! It was a beautiful day.
We are soaking this in, since there is a chance of SNOW this week!

 
In other news: Mattie got off the bus this afternoon and pulled
her tooth right out of her mouth! Pretty sure she will get a visit
from the Tooth Fairy tonight! So exciting!

I hope your day was as eventful as ours!
I am happy to have my main tree up and hoping
to decorate the rest of my house tomorrow night!
I just love to sit and look at the lights of the tree
with a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.
That makes for a perfect evening.
 
Plus, I love my fun colorful tree!
I thought the colors were perfect for the kids to enjoy!

 
I hope you are enjoying your kiddos and your trees
this evening and for the rest of the Christmas Season.
But please remember the reason for the season.
 
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a
son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
