When we recall Christmas past, we usually
find that the simplest things - not the
great occasions - give off the
greatest glow of happiness. ~Bob Hope

a very simple nativity scene, attended by a mouse, bighorn sheep and a toad, along with Joseph, Mary and an angel. Our baby Jesus was a 'scenty' lamb wrapped in Olives' blanket...which Olive was none too crazy about.

Im disappointed in my pictures of Christmas this year. They didnt turn out, and there just weren't enough of them...but maybe these few will give you a flavor of our holiday together. Only a flavor. For there are no pictures of my kitchen is its constant disarray because Christmas is about food and a LOT of it!! There are not photos showing our faces as we visited with Brian for our alloted 40 minutes. The pictures dont show the game table with many of us gathered around playing cards, or Chutes and Ladders or Creationary. The happy thing is that its not over!! We still have another week of the festivities!! There are still movies to watch and games to play, and presents to open and hikes to take and naps the enjoy!!
I hope and pray that your Christmas celebration was a merry and fulfilling one for you!!

Looks like lots and lots of fun and busyness. Your pictures are great too. Wish we'd taken more... Spencer's folks were here and it was great, but its more enticing to take pictures of cute little kids dressing up than of us old folks sitting around visiting. It was still fun, but no photos.
