This week for Family Home Evening (FHE) we spent time with the girls talking about the real reason why we celebrate Christmas. The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We took a couple pieces of our nativity set and showed them to the girls while we talked about the special events that happened the night baby Jesus came into the world. It was heart warming to see their faces light up and get so excited about all of it. Moments like this remind you as parents why it is essential that you take the time to teach your children the gospel.
After our FHE lesson, we let the girls write letters to Santa and make a Christmas countdown chain. The number one items wanted from the girls is a doll house (Mackee) and a tinker bell doll (Keely). Mackee keeps telling us that if we are not good, then we are going to get one of those "big black hard things". What is it?
A LUMP OF COAL!
I love the feeling of Christmas in our home. It often brings tears to my eyes when I see the tree all lit up, the nativity set up, the stockings hung, and Christmas music playing in the background.
Christmas is so much more fun when you have little ones because they are what make the season so magical.
The best gifts that I have be given this year are my three beautiful little girls, my wonderful husband, and my Savior and friend, Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas!
