A Few More Christmas Bible Verses

Here are some more of my favorite Christmas Bible verses! I made these to use in scrapbooking and faithbooking pages. If you like them, you can download them with the other two I shared earlier this month – they’re at my scrapbooking blog: Scrapbook Ideas.  I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas!!

Christmas Countdowns and Candy Canes

We have been counting down the days ’til Christmas! Gabe has been using a cute snowman countdown each day after school, with pockets which have candies inside! Julia has been gluing cotton balls on Santa’s beard (a fun craft she made at Mother’s Morning Out). Then we open the flap on our nativity advent calendar and read a Bible verse together and talk about it. Yesterday, after our countdown activities, the kids hung candy canes on the tree. Aren’t they such sweeties?

I have also been reading other December daily Bible verses from a calendar included in the curriculum for the kindergarten Sunday school class I co-teach.  The “Keeping Christ in Christmas” December calendar (by Lifeway Christian Resources), that came with my Sunday school teaching kit has a Christmas story verse for each day plus an idea for an activity do do with your child. Here’s the verse from today:

Kindergarten Craft Day, Plus a Christmas Bible Verse

Just wanted to share a quick pic from today: I had a chance to visit Gabe’s Kindergarten classroom to help with craft time. There were all kinds of Christmas crafts, and we had a great time :)!

Here is a Bible verse perfect for Christmastime – Isaiah 9:6:

A Mountaintop Playground {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 7}

I think this is the last of my fall recap posts for this year! I have some great Thanksgiving photos too, but I don’t feel like blogging about them, because all I can think about is CHRISTMAS now :). At the end of our covered bridges day trip with my parents and niece, we visited a cool mountaintop park with a playground, historic buildings (relocated), amazing views and even a tiny chapel overlooking the scenic vistas. We loved it! It made me nervous to be around so many cliffs with the kids, but we kept a close eye on them and luckily the playgrounds were gated and in the center, away from any danger :). Too bad this place isn’t nearby, I would be there everyday if I could!

A Covered Bridges Tour {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 6}

My parents and niece joined us for a wonderful day trip to see some historic covered bridges – we all enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and lovely sightseeing!

A Day Trip {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 5}

Here are some more fall photos! We had such a great time on our day trip to a mountain town with lovely autumn views and a pretty covered bridge. I enjoyed my first ever fried green tomato sandwich – YUM!

A Mountain View {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 4}

Here are some pics from another fun fall family outing to a local park on top of a little mountain :).

A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 3}

Hello friends! Still trying to get caught up on my fall blogging before December gets here :)! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A Stroll through the Historic District {Fall 2011 Recap, Part 2}

As part of our anniversary celebrations last month, Chris met up with me while the kids were at school so we could take a nice walk downtown. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time! I loved looking at the antebellum homes as well as several from the early 20th century. So many beautiful details to look at!
