The liturgical season of Christmas is in full swing at the Cotter home! Each night we have been opening an extended family present and doing a fun activity. Here's what we've accomplished:
To start we made some baby Jesus rolls for dinner tonight! I love these because of the symbolism behind Jesus being the bread of life and here we are, making baby Jesus bread.
The idea comes from here, but I called upon my favorite buddy to help make these quick...
Oh dough boy, what would I do without you? Especially when you are frequently on sale and coupons for you are always in excess?
Just tear apart your dough, assemble them into a swaddling baby Jesus...
watch out for "helpful" toddlers who think their plastic dogs are hungry (my preschooler said, "hey, put that on the blog!")...
brush them with egg yolk to give them the new baby glow and bake them according to the package directions.
We also built a ginger bread house...
played with Christmas cookie cutters and Playdough...
and watched Veggie Tales' The Star of Christmas.
