Today we had a Baby Jesus' Birthday Party with MOPS. The kids did beaded necklaces and learned the meaning of the candy cane. ( A great book about this is J is for Jesus: The Sweetest Story Ever Told.) They also decorated foam Christmas trees and learned the meaning behind the different colors of Christmas.
The kids also did nativity scenes with stickers.
This is the best group shot I got today. I counted 30 moms but I couldn't count all the kids. We had a great turnout for the party.
Monica prayed with the kids before telling them the Christmas story. It was so sweet to see all the kids with their heads bowed.
Monica did a great job telling the kids about Jesus. She used a felt board which helped keep their attention.
We sang a couple of songs and then it was time to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake.
Here the kids and I are finishing our packed lunch. My friend couldn't get either one of them to look at her and smile nicely at the same time (and this was before they had cake).
