December

Here is our very own toilet paper roll nativity scene.  Really fun! 

I Love December!  #1. on the 4th day of December not too long ago my parents and 2 older brothers were blessed with the addition of beautiful twin girls to the family.  Yes myself that is, and my twin sister Kiri.  This year Kiri will be in Australia for our birthday, returning with a perfume of my choice :o) and I will be in Auckland preparing for family Christmas at my house, with the in-laws.  Shaun is taking me to a lovely cafe in Newmarket for lunch on Friday I'll be sure to let you know how it that goes.  We have already done the birthday movie Harry Potter 7, Gold Class - Baby on board bargain (remind me to tell you how that went some time!)  #2. Who dosn't love December for this reason... CHRISTMAS!

Last night for our Family Home Evening we were suppose to set up our Christmas tree but our lesson part went a bit long.  I don't mind at all because it was a great little learning activity for the boys on the true meaning of Christmas.  I have been on Trade me for the last few weeks trying to find a nice nativity scene for our home. (no we don't have one yet!) Unable to find one I liked, that was also in our price range, I decided yesterday to search how to make one and found this fabulous printable colour-in nativity scene.  Once its all coloured in, cut em out and stick em onto toilet paper rolls!  They turned out really adorable and my boys just love them!!  Plus I dont mind them playing with them and looking and touching and doing those things kids (boys in paticular) can't help themselves from doing!  Here is the link Printable Nativity scene I had just as much fun colouring as the boys did :o) Ku.

Our Christmas tree waiting for all the pressies
