It's Jesus' Birthday!

Today we celebrated Jesus' birthday with a group of moms and kids from our Bible study. The party started at 10 am and we had the best time! Too often I think we get so wrapped up in presents that we forget the reason we celebrate: The birth of our Savior.

We started with a bit of free play before decorating party hats with stickers. I have found that stickers are THE best craft item to have around for preschool age kids. They absolutely cannot get enough of them.

Next, we had a bit more free play before we decorated a heart ornament and talked about how Jesus came to earth because of his great love for us. I bought the ornaments at Hobby Lobby for $0.33 a piece. We used markers to decorate them. Paint would have been a disaster! The kids seemed to really like the crafts.

We had a lunch of soup, bread and salad before we wore our hats and sung happy birthday to Jesus. I wish I had thought to get out my video camera. IT was precious. The kids decorated and devoured cupcakes before running away to work off a bit of that yummy goodness.

All in all, it was a fun morning. Unfortunately, I was a bad photographer and did not take near enough pictures. I guess there is always next year!
