Days of Christmas 2010: Day Eighteen

"If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away."

Today I hosted our Sunday School Christmas party. We had seven little kiddos and 4 adults - a nice balance, don't you think? :) They had a blast coloring ornaments, eating pizza, decorating cookies and playing with all my fun toys. (Most of them are from when I was a kid. Isn't it amazing that those toys have the same appeal?  ...ok. maybe I'm not THAT old yet, but you know. Toys are a lot different than they were twenty-something years ago!) :)

The cups on the table say "Happy birthday, Jesus!" (Thank you, Hobby Lobby!!) They loved them! and we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus before we prayed for our food. :)

I loved seeing my family room living up to it's name. Most of the time it sits vacant....

You know, it's kind of a mess, but I wish it were that way a little more regularly!
