We wanted to set our hearts right for the Birthday party for Jesus, so we began by lighting our final Advent candle, the Christ candle. It was only appropriate to sing Happy Birthday to our guest of honor:

We also wanted to recite Luke 2:10-14 to recognize the moment that the Rescuer arrived on earth:
We also sang some Christmas hymns. I absolutely love worshipping with these kids. They sing beautifully and bless my heart every single time.
Joy to the World (POV 1)

Angels We Have Heard on High
Hope Has a Name
Hark the Herald
After the songs, we spent some time thanking Jesus for coming to this earth. The children's prayers were so precious, and I know that God was smiling so big!!
Next, it was time to eat! We had "chicken and waffles" (chocolate chip waffles and CFA nuggets), yogurt, and carrots with Ranch. The kids LOVED it, so thank you for your donation along with our class funds that allowed me to order the nuggets.
My daughter Ellie came to the party since she wanted to meet the class! She loves this age group, and enjoyed visiting all of the tables.
Next, we played a game of "Who's Hello?" ...but a Christmas edition of it.
It's a game of trying to guess whose voice is saying "Merry Christmas". Here's a short clip from a mom:
And finally, the moment that they'd all been waiting for...the BIG REVEAL of their Secret Santa!
This is always my favorite part...the opening of the gifts! I love their reactions...it's like they won the lottery...LOL!! Their joy is so pure!
Thank you to these beautiful moms (and David, too!) for helping! And thanks again for providing the photos and videos!
Have a wonderful Christ-centered Christmas! See you on January 12, 2026!!!!!
