Christmas {Part 3}

The reason for the season - Christ born in the Manger,
The Savior of the World.. Shepherds watching with their flocks...
and Wisemen bringing gifts as Mary and Joseph look on...

Rob and I had all the children and almost all the grandchildren over for dinner and the Nativity program.
Didn't get any great pictures of the play, but the actors and actresses were as follows:
Mary and Joseph: Kate and Ryan
Baby Jesus:  Baby doll
Shepherds:  Jenna and Chase
Angels: Chris and Tyler
Narrator:  Rob
Audience:  Steve, Summer, Bella & Shell

Jen said her favorite part was when Mary (Kate) placed Baby Jesus
in the manager and he giggled.  One of the angels (up the stairs) placed her hands over her
eyes and shook her head) - and then smiled.

In the past I have had two trees, but this year decided
to just have one...hated the idea of not using my ornaments and
Jen suggested that I place my ornaments on the banister.
This picture is right at the bottom of the stairs.  The one ornament says
Wise men still seek Him, then Peace and a picture of Christ...

When Rob and I were first married we painted all these wooden
ornaments to be placed on our tree... Grandma Fink gave Rob the bicycle and
Shell gave us the star.  My mother did the crocheted santa claus in the background.

A little bear - to remind us to "bare our testimonies"
of Jesus Christ...

A Santa Claus I made out of dough - really a
heavy ornament!

Well, another Christmas past - may God bless us All.
