Annie's Class Party


annie and the weirdest santa ever! we don't teach our kids to believe in Santa. in fact we have point blank said repeatedly, santa is not real. however this does not apparently keep your kids from believing in santa. just the other day, annie looked up at our chimney and said, "how will he fit in there?" i had no clue what she was talking about. when she told me santa, i was like, "but annie santa is not real." she said, "well i know, but if he is real, how will he fit?" it's like she doesn't think i know what i am talking about and is just try to placate me. so i told her that if he is real, he is magical and can fit anywhere. that seemed to do the trick. as for this crazy santa that came to her class and would stop saying, "ho, ho, ho!" in a really obnoxious way, she whispered to me, "don't worry mom, i know he is not the REAL santa." the girl wants to believe! we also made reindeer food (oats with green and red sparkles) as a craft and gave them out in baggies at school. she can't wait to sprinkle those in the yard on christmas eve so santa will stop and give her presents. nevermind that our tree already has all the presents under it and their stockings are full.

annie and joey. this is her friend that she has shared Jesus with several times. he tells her it is just a story, but it doesn't stop her! the other day she came home and said she told Joey exactly how to pray to ask Jesus in his heart. He didn't do it, but he didn't stop her from telling him! Lord, we pray for Joey to come to know you!
