R thought his "activity" (i.e. nativity) needed a stable. So, my creative, innovative, imaginative son kicked his fisher price horses, cows, and farmers out of the barn to make room for the Baby Jesus. Hilarious and sweet and mindful...all at the same time. Notice the little blonde dog. He was not part of the nativity set that R's Nana gave to him, but (supposedly) he wanted to worship the Baby Jesus, too. Sorry there isn't a better view of Jesus, but it is kinda crowded in the Fisher Price Stable.
Makes me think...am I kicking out the extra in my life so that Jesus is always front and center to be worshiped and adored in my heart?

YES! You have started a blog! I'm so excited to discover it! I think you'll become as addicted as I am!
I second Jess with a YES! Glad to see what your life is like these days...but it does also make me miss you guys more! :)
A side story about Erik when he was growing up. His parents always did a devo with their nativity and each day they'd set out a new character and read a bit more of the story. In the nativity set there's a dog and they named him Haste. As in..."the shepherds came with haste" to see baby Jesus. Ha! Every year at Christmas Haste makes his appearance and two grown "children" (Erik and his brother) snicker during the reading of the Christmas story when Haste makes his grand appearance :) I'll be excited when Jannah get's the joke someday!
