December 16th

Today was the 16th day of advent.

 Our activity in our stocking was...

 to make ornament boxes.  The boys took shoe boxes and painted them.  Then they added stickers

 and their name to them.  These boxes will be used throughout the years to hold their own special ornaments.  This idea came from my best pal, Mary, who did this as a child.  Each year when the Christmas ornaments are unpacked, the boys will get their own special box that is full of "their" ornaments.

 Cute Boxes

 Then the boys opened their book

 and pulled their scripture chain.  Our bible story tonight was about "The Good Shepherd".
