From this Coloring Book
(While looking at the Flower Fairies Alphabet book and listening to the CD!)
We were too busy getting ready for the feast of St. Nicholas!
for with An Alphabet of Catholic Saints
and you can print the copy work we used here.
We pulled out all of our books about St. Nicholas to read:
The Miracle of Saint Nicholas (Golden Key Books)
Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend
The Legend of Saint Nicholas
Saint Nicholas
St. Nicholas: A Closer Look at Christmas
The Real Santa Claus: Legends of Saint Nicholas (Phyllis Fogelman Books)
We also listened to the CD Legends of St. Nicholas: Medieval Chant & Polyphony and watched Nicholas: The Boy Who Became Santa.
I ended up making a coloring page using a Precious Moments image and the Quote from God’s Alphabet for the letter N:
N is for Night Prayers
which faithfully say
and angels will guard you until it is day!
We’ve been making this for years now, and it is always a favorite activity!
St. Nicholas Cupcakes
Cupcakes decorated with White and Red Frosting, Coconut,
Chocolate Chips, Red Hots, and Mini Marshmallows
St. Nicholas Cookies

Jessica, You are amazing, and your children are just beautiful. Hope you are relaxing and enjoying that beautiful baby. You will be back up to speed soon, probably sooner than most… your children (and husband) are blessed with the time and effort (and love!) you seem to put into everything!

You're truly amazing! Where did you get the cookie cutter for the St. Nicholas cookies?
Thank you both! I'm not sure how I am going to manage to continue the Alphabet Path with a new baby, but we will see how it goes! :o)
Kelly ~ I purchased the Cookie Cutters from the St. Nicholas Center and I love them! Here's the link.
Yay, I'm so glad you are still ahead of me to give me good ideas! We're doing N this week 🙂
This is great Jessica!! We had to take a break from our Alphabet path, but I hope to pick it up again in a few weeks!
Thank you for continuing to inspire me! I also took a break from the Alphabet Path (morning sickness) but now we're going to try and get back on. I appreciate the time you take to post these. They're a big help!
Dear Jessica,
Love following your blog. Had to write because your little snuggles I could just eat up. Loved the pouting picture!! That is a classic. God Bless!

Cute! Your kids are just plain cute!
