2012 Goal Pages

2012 Goal Pages are Here!

They come in 2 different sizes and styles:

8 1/2 x 11

5x7

and 8 1/2 x 11

Note:

We made this style into a placemat.

It was a great way to keep our goals in mind!

Laminate the placemats so that

they can be wiped off easily!

Christmas Jars!

After reading the book,
"Christmas Jars"

I decided

that I wanted to take the opportunity with

my family
to give as the Savior did.

I wanted my boys to have a selfless Christmas.

What an amazing year it turned out to be!

We read the book as a family

and then started filling jars for our neighbors.

Each jar contained 1 roll of pennies....

that was it!

We added a poem to the jar so that

the neighbor's wouldn't be left to wonder

what the purpose of a gift of 100 pennies meant.

Here's the Poem:
A jar of pennies JUST FOR YOU . . .
we really went all out!
But the real meaning of this gift
IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT!
A pocket full of change, can be a
heavy thing to pack . . .
So just place it in this little jar,
and remember - NOT TO TAKE IT BACK!
When filled, this jar can CHANGE THE HEART
of someone who is in need.
The story is told in “Christmas Jars”
a book you’ll definitely want to read.
Jars are given in SECRET . . .
NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW,
just where their CHRISTMAS JAR came from,
or the next place it may go.
So we hope this year you’ll FILL YOUR JAR,
AND SEND IT ON IT’S WAY . . .
To follow the Savior’s example,
and make Christmas HIS HOLIDAY!
May the TRUE meaning of Christmas
be with you throughout the year!

Christmas Jars Gift Tags PDF

I tied a ribbon to the neck of the jar

and added the gift tag.

.....

This was one of my

favorite neighborhood gifts to give

because I knew it had the potential to

 BLESS

the lives of others in need.

It was truly a blessing for my family!
.....

Santa's Reindeer!

Help Santa hitch up his team of reindeer!

Good ole' Santa has been busy building toys

and wrapping presents....

No time to hitch up his team of reindeer.

He needs your help to get the reindeer ready to go!

To play this game you will need:

A Wooden Ruler

(I got mine at the Dollar Store - 2 for $1.00!)

2 Dice

18 Clothes Pins

Spray Paint

(White, Black, Green, or Red)

Hot Glue Gun or Double Sided Tape

Mod Podge

Sponge Brush

and

The Printed PDF: Cut and Laminated

Here's the HOW TO:

Cut out the reindeer.

I left a little bit of a white edge around the whole reindeer.

Laminate the reindeer.

Attach the reindeer to the clothespins using hot glue

or double sided tape.

Spray paint the ruler and attach the ruler border

with Mod Podge and a sponge brush.

That's It! 

You're Ready to PLAY!

To Play the GAME . . .

Roll the dice.

If you get a 5, you get to clip your #5 reindeer to Santa's Sleigh...

or the painted ruler!

Take turns between players.

Each turn gets 1 roll.

The first one to get all of Santa's Reindeer

 hooked up to the sleigh. . .

WINS!

Christmas Eve

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

The Nativity Story Packet PDF

We have the kids in the family dress up

and read their parts.

Here's the PDF:

Nativity Pieces Packet PDF

Bethlehem and Stable Packet PDF

The pieces can be Mod Podged to wood or chipboard.

This would be a fun gift for Visiting Teaching and

Home Teaching.

You could cut and laminate the pieces.  Attach a magnent

on the back and use it with a magnetic board, you could
print on magnetic paper. You could
attach them to tongue depressors, or
you could just give them a copy of the story.

Lots of possibilities!

The planner is coming...I PROMISE!
I just had to find a missing piece,
and today I did!
We had a lot of clean up after the serious wind storm
we had here in Farmington...but we are all still
standing and the power is back on so we
can go back to work!
Woot...Woot!

Don't Eat.....!

You can fill in the blank on this game!

Don't Eat...

You choose a different one of Santa's reindeer

EVERYTIME!

To Play the Game You Will Need:

Candy
and
The "Don't Eat....!" Cards - Laminated

You Can Use:

M&M's

Skittles
Gum Drops

Whoppers

Chocolate Covered Raisins

Or any other pieced candy you can think of!

This is a great game for classroom parties.

To Play The Game:

Divide the class into groups or stay together as one group if

you are playing as a family.

Put a piece of candy on each of the squares on the card.

Have one peson leave the room.

The rest of the group will choose one of

Santa's Reindeer.

Once you've made your choice,

the person can come back into to the room.

He or she can eat the candy from the card until they get to the

Reindeer that was chosen!
As soon as they go to pick up that piece of candy

every will yell, "DON'T EAT _______!"

and their turn is over.

Let everyone in the group take a turn.

Each time they leave the room the rest of the group

will choose a different Reindeer!
