Josie's Stepping Stones preschool received a visit from jolly ole St. Nick. As you can see, she was just slightly uncomfortable with the encounter but was willing to do it for the gift with the Hello Kitty wrapping paper.
Also, she styled her own outfit for dance class and I couldn't resist displaying the lovely ensemble here.
Lastly, Simon played one of the three wise guys, er, kings in the church pageant. This particular picture cracks me up so much because of the various expressions on the boy's faces.
The advent candle is getting lower and lower!!
* * *
God wrapped Himself up in human skin
for those who want to touch
God let them drive the nails in
for those of us who know way too much
You come bearing all our burdens
and take Your lovers for a ride
We stay holed up in our cages
fashioned by our own design
It's cold this year and I'm late on my dues
It's cold in here but that's nothing new
My heart's electric with your love again
So it's on to Bethlehem
-lyrics by Bill Mallonee "My Heart's Electric"
