Christmas Gifts

I've been busy with house guests, baking treats and making these pretty Christmas gifts for our friends and neighbors. My mother told me I needed to be crafty so she showed me how to make bows, gave me a glue gun and sent me on my way with 14 wreaths and a bag of decorations. Here are a few I made for our neighbors.

This is the one the girls helped decorate so it is hanging on our door. Thanks mom for the Christmas gifts. I'm glad I helped you clean out your project corner a bit!

The neighborhood loves them!

FHE 11/24/2008 Nativity

Opening Song: Away in a Manger Lesson: The First Christmas Closing Song: Away in a Manger We unpacked and displayed our Nativity for Family Home Evening. As we unwrapped each piece we talked about the people who are a part of the first Christmas. When we were all done Grace said, "Baby Jesus is cold. He needs a blanket...a pink silky." So Baby Jesus has a blanket at our house this year!
