More Christmas Fun!!

We're less than a week away from Christmas and very excited!!  There are more presents under the tree and school is out and the advents are just about done.  Here are a couple more things keeping us busy during the final countdown.

Chocolate bread, chocolate bread and more chocolate bread.  I am going to make my sixth batch of chocolate bread this afternoon and we've got lots of delivering to do tonight.  The girls all love singing and delivering the chocolate bread.  Rachel knows all the words to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" then hands it to the person and says, "It's CHOCOLATE BREAD!!!"  It cracks me up every time.

Last night we tried something new and had a 'Bethlehem' dinner.  We sat on the floor out front and tried many different foods that were similar to the kinds of food eaten by Christ.  We had fish sticks (we had to keep it semi-kid-friendly), pita-bread, honey, hummus, fig spread, black and green olives, cheese, dried meat (beef jerky), grapes, carrot sticks and grape juice.  It wasn't all authentic, but everyone was a good sport about trying new foods and we talked about how life was different back then.

This morning, I promised the girls a 'Christmas snack'.  I saw someone else post this on facebook and thought it was super cute.  I think they used peanut butter, but we used nutella this morning.  Reindeer toast was a big hit with everyone!
