You're GROUNDED....until Advent

In December the kids loved playing with our nativity scene.  We have a wonderful, durable set, and I love that they play retelling the Christmas story in their own way.

However, just before his birthday, baby Jesus went missing.  Being the very good parents that they are, Mary and Joseph took off too. Then there was the rogue wiseguy I mean wise man who went searching for the other three on his own.

They have been missing since before Christmas.  I have moved furniture, re-organized the toy room and searched high and low for these characters.  While I really felt that they had to be HERE, I had not been able to locate them.  This made me sad.

Then last night, late, I was going through a bag of shoes in the garage to see if I had any tennis shoes in Sweetness' size.  I found the party...all four of them AND it turns out someone had stolen a sheep too.  Baaaaaaad sheep!

All have been packed away and grounded until Advent!

I knew you had been wondering.  Feel free to carry on with your day.
