Tradition during Advent

Another one of my favorite traditions during Advent is our Nativity.


Unpacking
 Not only do we all get to enjoy it, it is made of resin and the kids can and do play with it.


Some times the camels, sheep and wise men need to be corralled back to the general area.
Sometimes My Little Ponies join the celebration.

It provides hours of content play individually and together with all the kids.  Music to Momma's ears! It also causes the conversation at our house to often revolve around Jesus.  About the stars in the sky and their search to find the brightest one leading us now, today, to Jesus.  My heart jumps for joy to think they are really understanding that while they may receive gifts at Christmas time, this time is entirely about the birth of our Savior, Jesus!

Hope no one kidnapps the baby this year. Do the camels and ponies have races?!
