This lesson on how to draw baby Jesus is one of my favorites so far. We first did this lesson 5 years ago, but I thought it would be so much fun to draw him again.

It’s easy for my kids to get caught up in buying and wishing for presents (it’s easy for me too). So, I really enjoyed spending this time drawing with my little Austin and talking about the true meaning of Christmas. We also had a bit longer chat off camera.

I really do love this season.

And while I understand that not everyone shares our same belief, I still felt it was important to share this lesson. Whatever your belief is, this is a wonderful time to focus on serving, being kind to others, and the most important thing…LOVE EVERYONE!

Merry Christmas!
