We took advantage of being "home" this Christmas to make andor finish some Christmas crafts. Here are my two olders` Christmas stockings. I bought the kits for these WAYYYYY back in 1999 or 2000, and it`s taken me this long to finally finish them.

I also dug out another old kit -- one I got at a yard sale YEARS ago for 50c. The kit was unopened, and dates back to 1978! I have 3 wise men too, but only got Mary, Joseph and Jesus finished. This was fiddly but it's soooo beautiful. Much more so in real life than in the photo.

I've just heard of the celebration of Epiphany today (never heard of it before, LOL!) so maybe I`ll do the wise men to decorate for that, if I have time.

Christmas Cookies? Of Course!

This year I was very busy with the baby and the kit-making, so the other children decorated all the cookies all by themselves!

They did a great job!

Here is something else Em and Joe put together:

This was posted as a link on homeschoolblogger, but unfortunately I don't know where the link is. Perhaps if I find it before next Christmas, I'll post it. It sure was fun to print out on cardstock through the printer.

Emily is learning to sew. She made a whole package of presents for Joe. In the package was a bird mask, a paper snake, a pop-up card, and these fantastic finger puppets -- made all by her, by hand. Great going Emily! Joe loves them.

And, here is my best Christmas present. It is so wonderful and meaningful to have a little baby at Christmas time!
