homemede gifts
Each year we have a special time where both sets of grandparents come over and we eat and enjoy each other. We always give them one gift from or about the kids. This year we made books (from an online source...if you watch careful you can get these pretty cheap this time of year). The books are titles, Lessons learned from these little blessings. It is full of fun things that kid's remind us. Last year we made a book about how to pray for your grandchildren (inspired by my friend, Katie). We have done ornaments in the past as well as frames. It is always a special time to celebrate what grandparents mean to us.
There are so many great ideas especially when you have kids...presents are a lot easier to come up with. I am already thinking about next year!

Ornaments
While E Each year at Christmas time I give my children a new ornament to represent the previous years. This year mMalachi will be getting a quad, because of he has mastered riding his new quad all by himself. Korrayah will be getting a sucker because of her love for sweets. They will hang their ornaments on their own tree along with the ornaments from the previous years. This is my favorite thing to shop for at Christmas. Enjoy!

Birthday party celebration!
Make and decorate a birthday cake with your children. Get messy and have fun (maybe even lick the mixers). While the cake is baking read the Bible story. After the cake is finished sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and enjoy. This might be a time to share your cake with a neighbor or friend! If you live in Holland area there will be a birthday party for Jesus at Central Wesleyan Church click here for details.
