 More elf shenanigans! 

Making reindeer food!

Christmas Eve tradition of making crafts in the morning. Love Jackson's idea of writing the names of Jesus on our Christmas tree craft. 

"For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given,

    and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6

Buddy's last day was focused on the true meaning of Christmas 

Merry Christmas!!

May your hearts be lifted in praise this Christmas for the wonderful gift of Jesus and the joy He brings to our lives.

Merry Christmas!!
