Ornament Stories

Last week, I shared a post using Christmas ornaments to tell a story.  I told you that I would have some special guest posts on a similar theme.  Due to some technical issues (I couldn't find the battery charger for my camera!) and some very busy kids (my special guest posters!), I have not been able to share their posts until today.

I hope you will find them worth waiting for!  Without further ado, here are guest posts from my 3 children- Gibson (3), Ethan (7) and Lindsay (9).

The Angel ~ by Gibson Daye

Gibson and I have been working our way through Truth in the Tinsel- an ebook that uses ornament crafts to tell the story of Christmas.  When I asked him what ornament he wanted to use, he immediately said the angel!  Here is Gibson's story- interview style.

Who made the ornament?  Gibson

What is the angel's name?  Gabriel

What do you like about the angel?  I wuv it!

What did the angel say to Mary?  Greetings!  The Lord has blessed you and is with you!

The Boat ~ by Ethan Daye

The boat is special to me, because it decorates God's tree.  Boats remind me of God's world.  I think of God when I see animals.  I feel the cool breeze on my skin and I hear the wind.  I love you God for the beautiful world that you have given us.

They're Not Just Ornaments ~ By Lindsay Daye

They're stories as well!  Each and every ornament has its own story!  But we have a lot of ornaments, so I chose an ornament that is special to me.

I am EXTREMELY happy with the prima ballerina.  #1- She is beautiful.  #2- She's a Barbie and I love Barbies.  #3- She does ballet and I do too!  But I only like the soldier for a few reasons.  He is cute and he fits with the ballerina to make Clara and the Nutcracker- one of my favorite stories.

Ornaments are not just ornaments.  They are special and have stories too!

What stories do your ornaments tell?
