Nativity

Christmas nativity in the cubby house. We started off reading the Christmas story.









Thanks Lauren for this idea - it was lots of fun.

We did have to convince little Rosa that her little dolly was ok and didn't need to be rescued from the rough prickly hay!

Nice to finish our day with celebrating the Lord's birth in this way

Christmas together

It seems we have unintentionally started a tradition. Over the past three years we have always managed to share one seat at the Christmas table with someone from another country. Initially it was a lovely girl from the Bahamas, in 2007, a good friend from Czech Republic. This year we were treated to having a girl from southern India. It has been so lovely to learn a little bit about these parts of the world, share together and get to know each of these ladies in turn.



My beautiful mother-in law... the one some of my friends envy because she is simply the best mother-in-law ever!! I honestly don't know how I would manage without her! Yes, she is the one who constantly offers to help by minding the children, comes and cleans my dishes, finds a job needing doing ... yeah all that and loads more! Please pray for my precious Mum as it must be jolly tough losing your beloved - and especially at occasions like Christmas with family all together...pray that the Lord would surround her with His loving kindness and tenderness...


I am sure I have more photos somewhere... or do I?? I think I was having too much fun - forgot to get more pickkies!
