Babies and Mangers

Baby Shower

“Away in a manger, no crib for a bed.”

During the Christmas season most of our focus is on one baby, unless we, or someone we know, is having one! Since we are in the season of celebrating the birth of Christ, I thought I would share the fun things I made for my great niece’s baby shower. I used My Digital Studio and the Hello Baby Ensemble Kit Digital Download. It was the easiest part of the shower! I printed all the elements out on my own printer and either cut out with coordinating punches, circle framelits, or with the paper trimmer! I had not thrown a baby shower for a long time and I was shocked at the price of all the baby shower items at the party store. I opted for plain paper plates and napkins and just dressed them up to keep the costs down. I did choose to just serve small sandwiches, chips, and cupcakes so I didn’t have to worry about dressing up the paper plate with images on printer paper being attached to the plate. The very first baby shower was not very elaborate. Three wise men attended and brought some very nice gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. By today’s standards they were pricey gifts; but they were God’s provision to take care of the Christ child in a strange land while they evaded an evil man wanting to take his life prematurely. Eventually, He gave His life for us and we sing:

Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!

There are more lyrics to the song…but the most amazing line to me is God and sinners reconciled! A joyous thing to celebrate indeed!
