I thought you'd like a peek at our Christmas Eve activities. We had Jeff's two brothers and their families over as well as Jeff's parents. Somehow we've gotten ourselves into a tradition of doing a themed evening. Last year it was Christmas around the world, the year before, a shepherd's Christmas. This year--Wise men. And what's a wise man without a crown? Our first activity, therefore, was crown making. Here I am with mine.
Paper plates, glue and assorted glitter--that's all you need to make some stunning head gear like my own.
The kids had such fun decorating that four-year-old Piper didn't want to stop.
Maybe that's why she looks so unhappy here.
The last piece, the baby Jesus figure, was brought in by the head Magi. Here he is.
He read the wise men's story from Matthew and then those who wanted to offered up their gifts in the form of talents. We had some piano numbers and some singing to finish off our little program.
Dessert followed and all the little wise men were happy.

After the crown making we ate dinner, which consisted of eastern-ish dishes, like curry and chapati bread, which didn't work out so well. Mango, pineapple and salads rounded out the meal. After eating, the wise men began their search for baby Jesus. They went on a scavenger hunt around the house for clues which were written and planted by Tamsyn and Megyn. Along with the clues, they found a piece of the nativity set at each stop.
