christmas advent, day 7

Day 7. Set up the Nativity and read the Nativity story.

The kids kind of love this.


The Nativity is in a big cardboard box, and I told them to just go for it but be quiet as I read. When I talked about Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the shepherds, the angel, etc., I had them find the character and place it where it should go.






Thanks as always to Grandma Twining who got us the set years ago. We love it every year.

Today's Jesus ornament:  The Carpenter's Son. Wesley didn't quite know what this meant, so I need to explain it further. Now that the Nativity is out and Joseph is a tangible person, I think I can explain it. 

Also... in Western Washington... it is coooooold. SO COLD.
