Just being silly!

We got a new shape sorter...it kept the kids attention for about 2 minutes, but it made a great hat for about 10 minutes!!!

Then and Now

It is amazing to see how much he has grown.

Here is Braden when he was just a newborn:















And here he is today at 9 months:

Happy Birthday Jesus!

We celebrated Jesus' Birthday with a cake:

The shape of the cake is round to represent the world into which Jesus was born.
The bottom layer of the cake is black to signify that we all are sinners, which is why Jesus came to earth.
The red layer symbolizes Jesus' blood that was shed on the cross for our sins.
And the green layer denotes the new life we have in Christ after our sins have been washed away.
The pure white frosting stands for the righteousness and purity of Jesus Christ,
The border of red hearts represents brothers and sisters united in Christ and circling the earth as his witnesses.
On the top of the cake is the gold star, the Star of David. The star shone bright heralding Jesus' birth and lighting the way to the manger.
The red candle is Jesus who came into the dark world to bring truth and light to all who are willing to receive it.
