December 15-17, 2007 The Baby Is Really A King!


Our second candle for advent was The Baby Is Really A King! Our activities for this week's theme included making a manger for baby Jesus, finding baby Jesus, and decorating crowns for the baby King.

Paul and the kids make a manger out of popsicle sticksNext, they filled the manger with hay.

They then had to go find a baby for the manger.
They found that the baby from Gabrielle's dollhouse was just the right size.
We wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger.

The next day, the kids each got to decorate a crown for our new baby king.
They used stickers, glitter glue and other decorations.

Sam didn't get to help, but he didn't get to check out Allison's chair at the table.
He thought he was pretty hot stuff.

After all of the glue dried, we stapled the crowns together to form one
large crown and crowned the baby King.
