He's Here!!!

It seems appropriate with the holiday season upon us to start teaching Ty and Micah what Christmas is really about. We have our tree up, gifts wrapped and under the tree, and it seems we are getting packages in the mail every day. It's easy to get caught up in all this excitement and not celebrate what this holiday is really for. It's not about the tree, the lights, the music, or the gifts. It's about THE birth. It's about HIM!
This year it seems like Ty and Micah are understanding what is going on. Today we started reading about the birth of Jesus in The Jesus Storybook Bible.

This book is great! We have already read through several times. Its easy to read, easy to understand and every story points to Christ. It has great art work too. It's great for kids (and adults!). I highly recommend it to all of you. I even made it easy and added a link!
Today we read Luke 1-2, the nativity. It's an amazing story!
