Now as a mother of an amazing three year old... I have been trying to figure out ways of teaching Mylah the true "Christmas Meaning". Which in turn means Jesus and his birth. Some of the things that we have already done...

1) Every night we do some sort of craft, paint, or color a picture for Jesus and then place the item, in this little manger I made under the tree. It's our gift to Jesus this year. I will for sure keep those items in Mylah's hope chest but right now... she is loving these activities. Got this idea from a Chicken Soup book.

2) On Christmas, I asked my parents and brothers if it would be cool to throw a little birthday party for Jesus together. As a family, we are going to make a cake and decorate it and yes... we are singing Happy Birthday. Idea from a church hand out.

I really don't know any other things that we could do but hey, if you have a suggestion... I would love to hear it. Thank you... a mother learning to parent! lol wink wink
