Heidi built this Nativity
Heidi threw reindeer food on the lawn...
...and the porch (they love oats-n-glitter!) ***
We usually eat an international dinner with the Melins on Christmas Eve, but this year we decided to bring it on home (cuisine-wise) and had grilled steaks, baked potatoes, and a huge salad, with cookies for dessert. (Sorry, no pictures of the feast, but it was grrrreat!) We shared our evening with Grandpa & Grandma Melin, Uncle Mike and Christina (and the Bates Family carolers and the Holm girls, too, for a minute--LOOOOVE you guys!)
Grandma dressed James up as Joseph for the Luke 2 story
Addie was a herald Angel
Uncle Mike was a shepherd (riding a horse, I guess)
Mike & Christina (a wise-woman)
Our sweet Nativity
Look at that tender little Joseph
Richard, Christina, and I were Three Kings, bearing gifts, which Mary was happy to receive
Heidi/Mary, ponders it all in her heart while rocking the baby Jesus.
The Angel comforts Baby Jesus
Heidi took this picture of me
Then the Elf came and told us to get ready for bed and left some jammies on the porch.
I played a few Christmas lullabies on my flute for my babies, then tucked them into bed.Now it's time to go do some elfing and get to bed so Santa can do his bidness!
Merry Christmas to all & to all a Good Night!

Looks like fun!
I always love to think of the dinosaurs that visited the manger scene. Warms my heart! We have that very nativity. Minus the wooden spoons and palm tree. :-)
