The Greatest Gift

"Do you remember what their names were?"   I asked as I pointed to the mom and dad.  "Joseph and Mary!", a few of them answered.  (They were rewarded with an MNM from the Good Job Jar. )  "Why were they important?"  I asked.   The answers varied. "They saw and angel."  "They had to sleep in a barn."  "Baby Jesus."  
"Why is Jesus important?" I asked them. 
(Silence and blank looks.) 
"Because He came to save us ALL!" I tell them. 
The kids created their small nativity ornament.  We continued to talk about how Jesus is the greatest gift of all.  I am not sure that they understand that.  
They know the name of Jesus, though.  I try to get them to remember to tell everyone.
We created small baby Jesus in a manger.
Labeled for anyone who does not know. :)
"Be very careful with Jesus!  He is Gods greatest gift!"  They walked slowly.  It was really sweet.♥
Meanwhile, fun with Smudge.  He is such a good boy and is warming up to Petra.  They play together a little, but Petra is so much smaller than Smudge that she gets scared and hisses.  But wherever Smudge is, there is Petra.  She likes him.  He's putting up with her. 
That's a goood baby.  
"Whatever." 
It's pajama day today at Henle House!  Our Christmas vacation begins tonight at closing.  We are all enjoying a free day today.  Happy first day of winter!
♥♥♥Merry Christmas!♥♥♥
