Well, since it’s almost time to put all the Christmas decorations away, I thought I’d do a little photo show of what we had this year.
Things went up in phases as we added new pieces to our collection so this year’s display really wasn’t complete until after Christmas.
Phase one was the tree and stockings (Nativity scene came later).
Phase two was Christmas lights! These came after a trip to my parents house where they bestowed upon me my portion of the Christmas light inheritance left to us by our grandfather. (I’m sure if I need any next year they will be happy to part with a few more – Papaw left us with at least ten tubs of lights he repaired).
The last phase was started by my family during their visit the weekend before Christmas. I was given a nativity craft and in Tom Sawyer fashion, I recruited the help (and glue gun) of my mom and sisters. I even got Brian in on the act, building the manger – a manly sort of job. I made the two sheep.
Here’s the finished set – now just to keep it out of Tadpole’s reach next year!
Thanks to all who made our decorations possible!
