Sawyer's Nativity

Sawyer and I were at Super Wal-Mart Monday and I came across this Fisher-Price Little People Nativity Set. I thought that it was the cutest idea because now Sawyer will have a nativity that will be okay to touch. We're trying to start his Christmas decoration addiction early. It will also be neat because we'll store it with all of our other decorations so it will be like he has a new toy each year.

Lorne and I are already lamenting over how we just can't put out all of our pretty and breakable Christmas decorations this year. I just keep reminding myself that Sawyer will only be little once and there will soon come a Christmas when we can put it all out again. Lorne will for sure put up my village because it goes up high on the entertainment center, and I have to find a safe place for our nativity, but we're not too sure about everything else. I'm sure that the mirror ball will make its annual appearance since it's on the ceiling. :) Lorne and his dad did the outside lights this past weekend and those look wonderful. Our neighborhood is doing a Christmas lights contest this year and it would be nice to at least be nominated since Lorne works so hard on them each year.


Daddy couldn't get the pieces free quickly enough.


Of course the box is always a fun toy.


It's so much fun to play with Daddy!


Such concentration!


It really is the cutest little toy! The manger lights up and plays "Away in a Manger."

I am so excited to say that I am finished with my Christmas shopping! I'm not even quite sure how it happened this soon. I think that it was because I made my list earlier this year and tried to get organized. Larry and Velma took the bulk of the gifts home with them on Sunday so that will allow us more room when we travel at Christmas. Half of the Tahoe is usually taken up with Sawyer's stuff and Rosie's crate. Last year I had everything shipped to Van Vleck, but that didn't work out so well and plus I spent about $70 in shipping so I decided that just wasn't worth it this year.

Happy shopping everyone!
