It’s that time of year where my class spends an unreasonable amount of time getting our parent gift ready. I spent time Wednesday morning (before my children arrived) unwrapping the wooden frames that we paint. (The children dress up like shepherds and look adoringly at Baby Jesus. I think I’ve posted about this before.) Monday we assembled the manger and cut ‘hay’ out of paper strips, Tuesday we took the photos, Wednesday we started to paint the frames (liquid watercolor – whatever they want to do), and today we’ll finish the frames and make our wrapping paper. If my old eyes can finish the photoshopping of stars in the sky today, maybe we’ll get them done tomorrow?
…. probably Monday.

And the parents will cherish this for years!
