This morning was THE BEST of the "12 Days of Christmas!" I got the opportunity to sit with a small bunch of Abigail's friends to talk to them about the reason we celebrate Christmas. We read the bible stories about Mary's visit with the angel, Jesus's birth, and the shepherd's visit. Then, we took some time out to talk about something we are doing at Celebration... buying chairs for the new Fresno location. Well, what better birthday present from a preschooler to Jesus than to decorate a "chair," decide on someone to pray for who's not yet saved for that chair and begin to pray for the person to be saved! :o) Here are some pictures of our painting time:
This is Jessica's finished chair :o)Next, we played outside for a little bit... then came in for cake! We sang:
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear Jesus
Happy Birthday to You
Each child blew out his/her own candle (God gives us breath!) and enjoyed the sugar high as we spent time worshipping God with our bodies by doing tumbling/gymnastics:
"Yaaaaa....h, Jesus!" 
Oh, the pics turned out so good!!! I love the one of you and Anastacia on the sidebar. You have to send me all of these pics!!!
