Shannens Journal writing 12/19: writing as if he was one of the shepards

One night I was going to bed and I fell to sleep and then I woke up from a big light. And a Angel appeared to me and it said to me. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." And then he left.

Shayden's journal writing on 12/17/08

In a town of Bethlehem, in a stable layed a baby named Jesus. A little bit away there were two shepherds. They were watching the sheep one night then all of a sudden some angels appeared and said do not be afraid I bring you great news. In a town of Bethlehem lays a baby named Jesus he will save you from your sins. Then the angel went away. Lets go see the baby said the shepherds. So they went and worshiped the baby. THE END

Winter Wonderland

For the past couple weeks we have been decorating the play room. We hung snowflakes, we hung stringers and in the center of the room we glittered and hung the star of
David. The only thing that is not right is that the star of David has red glitter instead of yellow glitter. Shyloh and Jeff hung all the snowflakes and streamers. They also helped make some and glitter some. All the kids made snowflakes too. On Saturday we had company over for our Uncles birthday when Shayden started making snowflakes. Well it looked like fun so the adults asked how to make them. Next thing you know all the adults were making snowflakes! It was very funny. They made small snowflakes and big snowflakes. We hung all there snowflakes in the playroom too. We call the playroom "Winter Wonder Land".

Decorating the playroom

A couple weeks ago we thought we should decorate the playroom. So we made snowflakes.
We made like probably 50 or 60 it was a lot. Then we made paper chains. We made a lot of paper chains. Then we hung them up. It looks pretty. But its just for winter.

Fishing with Daddy and Shayden

Yesterday Daddy, Shayden, and I went fishing. We got there and started fishing. Daddy almost caught a fish but the boat started going in circles and it scared the fish away so Daddy did not catch a fish. Shayden got a lot of bites but he did not catch a fish. I only got 7 bites but I did not catch a fish either. But we had fun!!!!

The Fight Of The Day

Today Daddy and I were play fighting and he dragged me across the floor. It did not hurt yet. He did it 4 times and on the 4th time it left a mark. It hurt but I kept fighting. We had fun! This is the picture of my back.
