Nativity Collection--Part 2


I really don't have a favorite --I like how they are all different.


























I can say that I am pickier now when I am deciding whether or not to buy a new nativity.  But I am still looking for more ☺

My Nativity Collection--Part 1


I finally took all of the Christmas decorations down last weekend & put everything away in the shed.  (Except for the string of outside lights & the nativiy water globes.)

So I decided I wanted to post the pictures of my collection of nativities. 

I have 55 nativities I display, & then there are 3 or 4 ornaments that were on the tree.  I just forgot to take pictures of those.


So here is part 1 of my collection:




































Hopefully it won't take me another week to post more.

Home again....



Here is one more picture of Benjamin at Aunt Pamela's.


The roads were terrible until we got to the interstate.  I decided to go through Idaho Falls instead of the short cut through Ririe, because I didn't want to take the chance of yucky roads.

When we got home, we unloaded but did not unpack.

Rusty had been busy.  The house was nice & clean & all of the laundry was done.  Rusty even did a couple of loads that evening.

And he organized & put shelves in the kitchen cabinets so we could get our nice dishes out that we have stored for years & years & years.  He also put in mug hooks & hung all of our mugs. 


Benjamin missed the dog (along with everyone else).  Zeb is a good dog & lets Ben give him lots of lovings.

And even gives him a "piggy-back" ride ☺

I love Benjamin's smile here.


Brienna got creative one evening (or maybe she was just bored) & made names out of her snack of pretzels.

Emmalee thought that was so "cool"



Zane--in pretzel!




Brienna & Emmalee cleaned their room.

Brienna took pictures of how clean & organized the room looked.

wow--you can even see the floor!!!

And she organized her make-up & hair bands & ribbons.
