We also made Haystacks. Ummm... I will post that wonderful recipe for TMTT next week.
I also know it is the season we remember baby Jesus because two days ago my daughter made up a new game she was playing with her daddy. It was called, "Away in a Manger"
Let me set the scene.
I am upstairs working on my TMTT post when I hear yelling and running and screaming downstairs. I know my husband is with her so I'm not too worried about the yelling as it must be part of some silly game. Then I hear her scream at the top of her lungs, "Quick get baby Jesus before the alligator eats him! Throw me baby Jesus and let the alligator chew on you"
Uhuh, you read that right, alligator and baby Jesus in the same sentence.
So at this point I have to go see what is going on. I walk out of the office and the house is completely dark. They are running in circles through the kitchen and den. I finally ask, "what are you doing??
This is what I was told by my husband. " I am Joseph, Kathryn (the 4 year old) is Mary, Mimi(her favorite bunny) is baby Jesus. We are being chased by an alligator through the forest and we can not stop because there is No room for us in the House." Apparently Joseph gets sacrificed if the alligator gets too close to the Jesus.
Are you getting this people? Kathryn yelled upstairs at that time and said, "were playing Away in a manger Mom"
How funny is that? What an imagination. I love it! I hope you enjoy your preparations for Christmas just as much as we do in our home.

My 5 year old went into "big" church with me the other day (instead of Kid's Church.)
We have 2 LARGE screens, on either side of the stage. As we were leaving, he said to me, "I really liked the Jesus show!"

I love the games that little children come up with. It just goes to show you that she really is thinking about the Christmas story. :)
I linked this up in Things to Write Home About.
Awww the sweet innocent minds of children and the blessings of a happy family. It's great that your husband likes to play along with her. How neat!
