We started our Countdown to Christmas yesterday (I still can't believe it's December).
Today, the kids learned about the angel that appeared to Joseph to inform him of Mary's pregnancy.
Day 2 - An angel talked to Joseph about the birth.
(Matthew 1:20 - But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.")
Day 3 - The angel said that Mary’s special son will save us from our sins.
(Matthew 1:21 - "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.")

Tomorrow, we'll look at Matthew 1:21, when the angel gave Joseph some more details....that the baby would be a boy, that they were to name him Jesus, and that He would one day save people from their sins. (Wow, what a night that must have been for Joseph!)
Day 3 - The angel said that Mary’s special son will save us from our sins.
(Matthew 1:21 - "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.")
In the spirit of these verses, the kids made cone-shaped tissue paper angels (idea inspired from here).
I think they turned out pretty cute.
Meredith's is on the left, Caleb's is on the right. Caleb insisted on putting "teeth" on his angel, thus the "jack-o-lantern" look to his angel's smile....
Go here to see the angels we made at this time last year!
