So for the three days leading up the Christmas, Elena and I (Elena did almost all the work) put together a little Christmas VBS (for lack of a better description)
Each afternoon we played Christmas themed games, listened to the Christmas story, memorized Bible verses and did crafts.
During these activities the kids had the opportunity to earn money (fake money!) for memorizing verses, or answering questions about the Bible stories, or winning games or just for good behavior. Then, on Christmas Eve, we put together our Christmas shop!
The kids were able to come in one at a time and buy toys, clothes and stuffed animals for the other kids. It was so fun to have them pick things out for each other!
There were also gifts for the Tias!
Once they were purchased, the kids helped wrap up the presents. Here's the pile!
All sorted out!
More to come soon!
