Letter to the Christ Child

This year instead of writing a letter to Santa, I suggested that L. write a letter the the Christ Child. I told him that after he wrote the letter we would put it on the windowsill and the angels would take it up to heaven and give it to Jesus. His letter was so sweet, I thought I would share it. Here is what my 5 year-old told me to write:

Dear Christ Child,
I want to buy a GeoTrax with an airplane and a remote control. I love everybody. I will give everyone who is in the hospital a band-aid. They can come to my house and eat my food and my dessert too. I want to give God a present. I will give him a GeoTrax and help each other.
I love God and Jesus and baby Jesus and Mary and Joseph. I love Daddy and you, N., and K., myself, and St. George, and God, and St. Nicholas, and St. Martin de Porres.
I am thankful for my house. I love Baby Jesus.

L.

Little Angels

The kids were in our 2nd annual nativity play this year with our homeschool group. L. and K. were both angels. They were very cute! I will have to print this picture and post it on my refrigerator as a reminder to myself (and them!) how angelic they can look when they want to! N. was supposed to be a Roman soldier, but I fired him from the play! He was laughing so hard during rehearsals while he was on stage, yet off stage he just kept crying because he hates wearing costumes. I told him he was fired, and he just laughed at me. Thankfully I don't think he will ever be in a therapist's office in 30 years lamenting his very short acting career! He made a great audience member as you can see!
