Happy New Year

Where's Jesus?

Last night when Brent was putting Jack to bed, Brent said to him, "Your heart is beating very fast." Jack replied, "That's because Jesus is in my heart to stay." Then, he continued, "When He's not in my heart, He's in my tummy. And, when Jesus didn't have a place to live, He stayed in a manger."

Blog Note

There are 11 posts from Christmas, in order to see them all, you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the page and click "older posts."

What's the problem?

Several weeks ago, it was very cold and with the heater running constantly, Jack's face was getting dry and irritated. So, I put a little vaseline on his cheeks before bed a couple of times. Yesterday, Brent walked into the bathroom to find Jack doing his own application. I'm not sure the pictures really do it justice! (It was down his neck and in his hair!)

Jack enjoyed helping everyone else open their gifts as much as he enjoyed opening his own.

In this pic, Jack is explaining to Grandmommy that the gift he gave her (a small ceramic Santa) is perfect for holding candy.

In the middle of all the toys, Jack wanted to stop and read the books that Santa left.

On Christmas Eve, Jack enjoyed sprinkling reindeer food in the front yard.

It was hard to wind down for bed on Christmas Eve.

Sweet kisses under the mistletoe!

On the 23rd, we made a birthday cake for Jesus that we enjoyed after lunch on Christmas day.

(Remember, it is the thought that counts!)

We have several Christmas photos that I'm going to post; I don't know how many there will be in the end, but here are the first few that were taken at Jack's school at the end of November.
