Christmas planning #8: Love

Christmas planning #8
I posted this on the Facebook page yesterday and wanted to make sure I also posted on here in case any of you aren't on facebook. =)

" Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers 

over a multitude of sins." 

(1Peter 4:8)

Today's project is to get you thinking...is there a family member or friend you need to forgive? Or maybe someone you just have lost contact with? This verse reminds us that we are called to love, above all. Meaning whatever sin that person has done to maybe hurt you or whatever's been done... This verse reminds us to do something. So I hope it convicts your heart as it has convicted mine. That today we may show love. :)

Christmas Planning #7: Christmas Lights!

Time to go look at lights! Make this fun and special! 

Here is what we did last year... At Wal-mart I found some comfy Christmas sweat pants and sweatshirts for the kids. I wrapped them up in a bag and printed out a note... Then I let Zack (our Elf) do all the work. 

We had the grandparents over for dinner. After dinner we told the kids that we thought Zack was missing and he was supposed to bring a surprise for them. They searched the whole house and finally in the Laundry Room on top of the washer they found him!

They quickly put on their new comfy Christmas clothes and grabbed theirr "Christmas Express Tickets". One quick picture and then we all loaded in the car!

Our first stop is always starbucks to get our favorite Christmas drinks. Then to go look at lights. 

We even saw Santa and got some cookies.

CLICK HERE to print out your own "Christmas Express" Tickets from "Confessions of a Homeschooler"!

This year I plan on doing the same thing, except I also came across this "Scavenger Hunt" idea from "Macaroni Kid". Here is  a free printout. 

I thought this would be fun for my kiddos.

Make it fun and special! They are only little once.
