Homeschool Christmas Party day!

Well, last minute I realized that today was Jalen's Christmas party at school, so I needed to come up with something fun for Cameron, Miah and I at home, so no one felt left out. So total last minute, we made chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles, and then we had left over melted chocolate, so we threw in raisens and almonds, WOW, those were good. My favorite part was watching Cameron help Miah. He is so sweet with her. I am thankful he has a little sister to look out for and teach and be gentle with. I think it is good preperation for him for later on in life. But, what also blessed my heart was that, even before we were done, Cameron saw a neighbor walking her dog, and he grabbed a pretzel, threw on his shoes and chased her down to wish her a Merry Christmas and give her a chocolate pretzel. Then he made up a big plate to take to our friends across the street, and he made a homemade Christmas card, or should I say "crismis" card for them.

Then we picked Jalen up from school and he had all sorts of Christmas crafts and little treats, but the first thing he did was give a treat to Cameron and Miah. (He told me on the way to school that if he got any treats he was going to ask the teacher if he could bring one home for his brother and sister too. I figured his teacher would say no, but I loved his heart.)

(Now, I am praying for a snow day tomorrow!!!)
