The First Noel

 This is how we are celebrating the First Noel in our home this year.  It's been so fun to be surrounded by our nativity scenes and Lulu has been acting out the birth of Jesus quit a bit. 

 I love this Mary and baby Jesus because she's holding her new born baby.

This is the town of Bethlehem.  Mark's mom bought it for him when he was in high school for his home someday.  It's now in our kitchen on display.

 Here is our Jesse Tree that Mark made us this year.  We don't have all the correct ornaments yet but we are slowly collecting them.  We have some "regular" ornaments hanging on there too.

 Here is our basket of Christmas cards.  Lulu loves digging through this and looking at all the pictures and fun cards.   And the picture below is the "fun" nativity scene that the kids can play with.  Under that table is where we are keeping all the presents. 

And here is our little Mary.  She loves acting out the story of Jesus being born.  I have to play Joseph and knock on all the doors looking for a room for her to give birth in.  But of course no one had room for us so we have to go to the stable in the living room amongst the cows and sheep.  It's very entertaining in our home right now.  Come on by and we will put on a show for you!

Luke 2:11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
