Those who read Honey Mommy's blog know that at her house the snowman Nativity posts are always fun at Christmas time. Well here at our house the Nativity set has had some adventures of it's own.
The animals belong IN the stable
But put too many in and it starts to smell
I know that whenever Blake gets into our front hallway there it is almost certain that the Nativity scene will look a bit different. My mom made this set when I was in 1st or 2nd grade so it has seen it's fair share of holiday fun.
A few of the stories we have opened are:
Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg... need I say more??
Are You Grumpy Santa? by Gregg and Evan Spiridellis. In this story Santa is having "one of those days". Nothing seems to be going right until he gets to one house on his Christmas route and the children left cookies for Santa... it perked him right up again!
I love it! and your captions too. I bet it will be a wonderful memory for him, playing with the nativity set!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! I like them all lined up, very cute.
ReplyDeleteI love your nativity. So cute. Almost looks like the little people nativity. Love the polar express
ReplyDeleteI love to see how children think the manger should be set up! We have a special set that my parents give us a piece to every year. Madison has always wanted to play with it so last year my mom found the girls a Fisher Price Nativity set that they adore! The animals ALWAYS have to be in the manger at our house too!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the library today. I want to find the Are You Grumpy Santa? book it sounds really cute!
