I go to a woman&#39;s bible study at our church, but have often wished there was a mens one. Dave also does his bible studies each morning - it&#39;s great having a strong Christian man to lead the family!<br />That nativity sheep makes me laugh each time you mention it!Renatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824391225748530760.post-36381260642825208532009-12-03T10:33:15.817-06:002009-12-03T10:33:15.817-06:00Loved this post! Cakes is so funny! <br /><br />We do something similar every year with the Nativity set with our children. We set up the set when we decorate for Christmas, but we do not put the Baby Jesus in until Christmas Eve, when we read the Christmas story out of the Bible, Luke Chapter 2, and then we put the Baby in his place of honor. A few years ago, our pastor&#39;s wife gave us a set of Christmas ornaments with scripture verses on the back of each illustrating the Christmas story. The kids take turns hanging the appropriate ornament on Christmas Eve when its&#39; corresponding verse is read from the Bible. We have grown to love this tradition, and I firmly believe that our children, as well as yours, will treasure these kinds of memories long after the Christmas toys are forgotten!Jeanniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07571529224053926540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824391225748530760.post-61978400027682474042009-12-02T23:46:34.709-06:002009-12-02T23:46:34.709-06:00What a precious idea, I love it! It will just build the excitement for the Christmas story!<br /><br />Love Cake&#39;s response. When I was pg with my 2nd, my oldest (then three) was in the women&#39;s bathroom with me at the mall, and asked if I was going to potty in a cup. I heard a whole bunch of women break out in laughter and wonder if I was pregnant!momsthewordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824391225748530760.post-76532474848806755862009-12-02T20:49:06.983-06:002009-12-02T20:49:06.983-06:00My friend has a nice little nativy set that she puts out every year.

I know it&#39;s a blessing for you so see him so involved.

That is so funny about the tooth on the sheep! Your hubby is so wonderful to take the time to teach the girls like that!

She&#39;s a riot. <br /><br />A friend of mine emailed me the other day with a few funny things that her daughter is saying. She was telling me that her favorite age is 3. <br /><br />My baby is finally pointing to me and saying &quot;mama&quot; instead of dada. Last night I was fixing her a cup and she actually said, &quot;Mama baba?&quot; She&#39;s never put two words together! But then I think about the story you posted about your girls saying mom like 137 times on the way to church...then I begin to rethink wanting to hear mama all the time. LOL<br /><br />Listen to your body...take it easy girl!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03079351241495960304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824391225748530760.post-61303342538731252402009-12-02T10:47:02.639-06:002009-12-02T10:47:02.639-06:00That Cakes she defiantly cracks me up.

We&#39;ve been planning on teaching our children the same way--one piece at a time. We actually picked up the Little People Nativity Set on sale, though, so the girls can play with the pieces, and I don&#39;t have to worry about them getting broken--for some reason my youngest seems to want to throw everything glass lately, and I just don&#39;t feel up to sweeping up broken pieces of the nativity throughout the day. My almost-30-weeks-pregnant body just can&#39;t take so many messes right now.Jessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13676933457827280141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824391225748530760.post-89548408054123766692009-12-02T10:23:44.626-06:002009-12-02T10:23:44.626-06:00LOL LOL LOL ... that Cakes!!
