Baby Jesus


Since the Christmas season is upon us we have been talking about the meaning of the holiday. We have been reading and talking about the Jesus's birthday, as well as good old Santa. While I was in the kitchen this morning Avery walking in holding one of her baby dolls all wrapped in a blanket. She said, "we have a new baby". I asked the baby's name and she replied, very matter of fact, "his name is Baby Jesus". She also told me her name was "Mary" and that "Joseph" was at work. After provided me with all the information she went on her way to play Mommy for her baby "Jesus".

As for the rest of the holiday fun at our house, we have been baking cookies and shopping for Christmas gifts. Since we are traveling to Wisconsin for Christmas this year we have decided to forgo putting up a tree. Instead we went to Home Depot and got a wreath made from evergreen branches that keeps the scent of the a real tree in our home. We are so excited to be heading to the Northwoods for the holidays with family and friends. In our house we are dreaming of a white Christmas, if is going to be -10 degrees we need snow!:)
