Merry Morning

We went to Merry Morning at our church this morning.  After a bit of a rough start, the boys had a great time learning about the true Christmas story.

Our first stop was to visit the animals.  Here I am attempting to take pictures of Josiah feeding the goats oblivious to the fact that his finger is being chewed up by one of them.  


Once I pulled his finger out of the goat's mouth, I realized that he had 3 teeth marks and a spot where the skin had been broken.  It was quite traumatizing for Josiah.  
Before long, he was bandaged up and better than new.


We painted some ornaments.



Buried Baby Jesus in the sand.


Made music for the Lord.


Pretended to be a carpenter like Joseph.  
Although I highly doubt Joseph wore goggles as slick as these . . .


Spread the Good News via email, phone, and snail mail.


Made some countdown sticks for Jesus' birthday.


Decorated and ate some cookies.



And watched a short re-enactment of the birth of Jesus.  
It was a merry time by all and a fun way to kick off December.
