Matthew 1-3

So we decided to start our funfilled adventure in the New Testament...
CH - 1 so really whats the deal with all the names some are impossible to pronounce and the kiddos are just fighting back smiles as they hear dear old dad struggle with what is supposed to be the english language...THING 2 asks - Was it Joseph that was fat?? No honey Jehospaphat was the great-great- ect grandfather of Jesus and that was his name. Which the kids think walking around with that name would have had many challenges.
CH - 2 the wise men from the East was a little to vague they wanted more details...where were these guys from...none were convinced Herod was going to do any worshiping...no questions about the gifts for a pretty big reason....we've explained those gifts before...My much better half years ago implemented a 3 gift Christmas...we struggle with the whole Christmas thing anyway,but our kids get 4 gifts from us each year...new PJs to wear Christmas Eve...and something they want - something they need - and something to read...we keep it simple and focus on doing more for others and the true meaning of Christmas.
CH - 3 Thing 3 was very concerned for John the Baptist why did his parent only give him locust and honey... they wanted to know if his parents died and thats all the food he could find...and if he got to go to other places besides the wilderness....can't wait until tomorrow
