The Christmas season is in full swing at the Walberg house. I am loving having little ones around that keep us fresh in our remembrance of why we are celebrating Christmas in the first place!
One thing that we did for the first time but I am hoping will become a tradition is a picnic in our living room roasting hot dogs in our fire place!!
Wyatt and Mommy had fun rolling out and cutting sugar cookies for a party.
Messy...just the way we like it:)
This is our first year to also do the Jesse Tree. It is a little like an advent calendar in that we are counting down the days to Christmas. However, the Jesse Tree is more deliberate in teaching about Jesus Christ and each of the ornaments that are placed on the tree signify significant people in the lineage of Christ. It begins with the creation of the world and ends with the birth of Christ. Romans 15: 12 says, "There shall come the root of Jesse, and He who arises to rule over the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles hope." Jesse was David's father and from the line of David, Jesus came. It is a great tool for us to use year after year to tie the whole Bible into the culmination of Jesus coming to earth and remembering His completed work on the cross for us!
The little ones and I went to a friend's house to having some play fun and to ice our sugar cookies....this gingerbread man never made it off the table...it slowly worked its way into a little belly:)
Wy loved all the sprinkles and decorations that he got to play with:)
A post about our traditions would not be complete without a "Christmas Sweaters" picture...aaahhh, the joys of motherhood and putting your kids in whatever you want then making them pose!! They will one day love these photos as much as I do right?!
