Merry Christmas!

There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:8-20 NIV

Ginormous Candy Cane

On Sunday, we had a Christmas party at church. Pastor Jed was giving away prizes. A group of us where standing by the piano, listening to him. One of the last games we had to do was be the first one to bring him a jingle bell. While every one rushed away from the piano to search for one, I picked one up off the piano which Pastor Jed was standing behind and gave it to him. I won the candy cane!

Christmas Cookies

Today. we have a guest writer! My brother Adrian wants to write the blog 🙂

Yesterday, we were at Auntie Kristi’s house. We made cookies with sprinkles on them. I liked putting on the sprinkles. My favorite cookie was Tiggers!

I ate one of my cookies that was a Tigger and I brought home another Tigger cookie. The cookies were good, but I liked the white ones better.

We made lots of cookies. I had fun.

The Littlest worm I ever Saw______.
Got stuck inside my soda straw.

He said to me (He said to me)

This is probably a mix of two or three versions, I learned from Esther and Uncle Dave when at Lake Ann.

We were going to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with Grandma and Grandpa and Esther. Esther starting singing the Littlest Worm song. Then Grandpa started singing Goulash! It was a fun trip 🙂

P.S. The movie was good. My favorite part was the Sea Serpent fight! Thanks for the early Christmas present Grandpa and Grandma!

Song to Annoy Your Parents

“Goulash was a little worm, a little worm was he.

Sat on a railroad track, a train he did on see.

Goulash, Goulash!”

Esther thought this was disgusting, she had goulash for lunch!

Thanks Grandpa for a new song! Do I have it right?
