December Day #12

Well, another very busy day with children doing things all over the city!  We did have time to stop at the huge tree in the Square.  Arrow was struck with amazement at the enormity of it.  Cedar thought all the flowers in the Square looked pretty - he notices beauty all around him (and imaginary dinosaurs!).  He was also most put out that silly people had broken the Christmas decorations on the tree (conscientious too!)

Our angels were hiding today in the DVD cabinet holding a picture of a stable and a palace. 

Kings and important people are not usually born in stables.  I'm sure we can all agree on that!  Jesus was though, and I think God wanted us to know that Jesus will go anywhere and we don't have to be someone famous, rich or royal to be able to come to Him.  That is LOVE.

Today Crystal opened the book.

Hmmm, she is holding it backwards!  Good thing Don Freeman made a lovely picture for the back cover of the book!  The book is:

• The Christmas Strangers.  It is a story about a pioneering family's Christmas where they help some Indians.
