Christmas Testimonies, Letters, and Cookies

We like to give our girls multiple opportunities to think about their testimonies through the year.  For this activity we began by discussing their thoughts and feelings about Jesus Christ during the Christmas season.  Then we spent ten minutes or so letting them write down those thoughts and feelings on a special "Testimony" paper in their binders.

Next we wrote letters to the two full-time missionaries serving from our ward, as well as the Bishopric, Stake Presidency, and Primary Presidency.  It was hilarious to see how they pretty much wrote the same things on each of the letters.  Several wrote, "I hope your mission is fun!" on the letters to the missionaries as well as the Primary.  (I guess it was our fault for making this a writing-intensive activity.)

Lastly we decorated Christmas sugar cookies.  Obviously, their favorite part of the afternoon.
