Throughout December my favorites are reading the Christmas stories, special candles, giving gifts to our friends and neighbors, and of course watching the kids open presents. We did BIG Christmas for the kids early as we leave tomorrow morning for the States. Adopting the European tradition of wooden toys, Eli received two big trucks (dump truck and auto transporter with 2 wooden cars) and Mary has her kitchen (with pots, cooking utensils, tea set). They love them and we've had hours of fun playing since opening them last Saturday.
I always feel especially blessed this time of year remembering what an incredible gift Jesus was and is to us and how much of a blessing it is to give to others and share the real story of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all of you and God Bless!

Hi Sandra! I just found your blog when I checked out Kevin's my space page. Your kids are growing so fast! I can't wait to read all your old entries and catch up on how life has been for you.
My kids love a good manger scene as well and the Fisher Price Manger is adorable. It is with the Little People and when you put the angel on the top and push down the start lights up and "away in the manger" plays. It is too cute!
