Not Me Monday

My daughter does NOT love to dress herself. Unfortunately she does NOT care if the outfit matches or not.

Not Me Monday

When packing up my Christmas stuff I did NOT find random toys as "ornaments" on the tree.

Christmas Card

I absolutely LOVE to receive and send Christmas cards. However each year I am not able to send out as many as I would like due to cost. So if you didn't receive one from The DeLoach household, please know you are still loved!

Merry Christmas from the DeLoach's!

Not Me Monday

I did NOT let my kids decorate their Christmas shaped cookies however they pleased. It did NOT pain me for the cookies to not look like snowmen or Christmas trees afterwards. Just a sugar overload.

Yes, I realize Isabel is in a spider / Halloween shirt to decorate Christmas cookies. I battle dirty laundry daily and on that day, dirty laundry won.

Gingerbread Nativity

Seems like everywhere we go people are asking the kids what Santa is going to bring them and even what their elf's name is. I know lots of you are into the whole elf thing, but just so you know if you ask my kids who their elf is they will look at you with blank stares. This momma doesn't do the elf on the shelf.

We do have a fun activity each day that we do together as a family. Go here if you missed that post.

Last year we made a Gingerbread house to put as the centerpiece of our dinning room table. This year I wanted something more Christ focused in our decorations. This is what I found. The Gingerbread Nativity.

We read from the Bible the story of Christ's birth. Then made our own Nativity.

It was such a fun craft that we have actually made several. We made one with my sister, one with our church family, and one with a neighbor. Such a great way to share the birth of Christ with kids.

I do NOT love wrapping presents more than buying them. I also do NOT love to purchase wrapping paper.
