jesus had a little lamb

maddux brought home his "baby jesus" today and we had to lay it out with mason's from last year.  the kids just love these and take great pride in the mangers they painted for him to sleep in.  our two baby jesuses are snuggled up together by the fireplace and guarded by faux evergreen reindeer.

maddux also brought home a 'lamb' made from a cut-out of his hand which was very sweet.

the lamb inspired mason it make up this song (he claims not to have learned this anywhere and had a pretty lengthy explanation of what inspired the song, so maybe he did make it up.  although i feel pretty sure that someone else had thought of this before.)

we have such sweet 'lambs'.  love.
