And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”  Luke 1:46-55

HO HO HO! Went to Festival of Lights and there was a Santa there. Sey wanted to see him. This is Mye's first time on Santa. She just sat there. No problem. She is an easy going gal now. :)

Sey enjoyed it. I just realized that she actually knows very little about Santa- He says hohoho, wears red, kids can sit on him, and he will give you a candy cane- I have not really explained any more of him to her. We spend most of our time learning about the TRUE meaning of Christmas. After she saw Santa, and we were in the car, Sey said, "Santa said he wants cookies and milk and carrots for his donkey." I about died laughing...

Flyleaf Christmas song~lyrics

A frightened virgin teenage girl
Receives a message that defies the laws of this world
All she can do is weep and nod
She's to bring into this world the Son of God
God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
A star appears fufilling ancient prophecy
There's an ounce of fear as wise men follow faithfully
The Virgin Mary brings forth the human savior
And this future king sleeps soundly in the manger
Soundly in the manger
God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So He hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the price
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again
God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
Ready for thorns..

We get to start our Jesse tree today! I made 12 ornaments that stand for different people in the line of Jesus, and we have 12 tiny nativity ornaments. Isaiah 11:1 "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit." Each day I am going to place 2 gummy bears on the ornament of the day so that the girls know which one we are to talk about and put on the tree.

We put up our Christmas lights and blow up nativity on Friday.
