4th December 2007
Today was a great day:) I had MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), and it is so refreshing to get together with other moms and be reminded that you are not alone in all the crazy moments of motherhood. Therapeutic. And today we made this awesome beaded serving spoon!
So easy! It honestly took less than 15 minutes. It would be so easy and cheap to make a whole set of matching serving utensils. What a great gift!! I could make them and sell them on Ebay:) I’ll add it to my never-ending list of things I could do someday…
Another great thing about today was that my mother-in-law insisted I open my Christmas present, since she said I needed it now. It was a set of the Three Wise Men to go with my cherished Willow Tree Nativity set. I just set them up on my mantle yesterday, and this was the perfect addition.
The wise men look a little less worn than Mary, Joseph and the shepherd, who have been well-loved and played with by Analise. She likes having it up on the mantle, and she had to bring a stool into the living room so she could look at Baby Jesus. Sweet. She was SO EXCITED to help me open the Wise Men and arrange them with the others. "Is that ok?" I asked her. "No, they have to be closer. They can’t see Baby Jesus." I’m hoping maybe I’ll get another piece or two for Christmas to add to the display. Analise said we need a stable and an angel, and I told her she needs to tell Daddy 🙂
We’re enjoying reading our Advent verses, singing a carol and lighting the candle each day. Josiah starts blowing as soon as he sees the candle. I think tomorrow’s agenda holds more Christmas cookies, along with Analise’s choir Christmas program. Should be fun!! We’ll get pictures and video… I can’t wait to share it! She knows the words to the entire program inside and out.
