nativity...

Last week we set up our nativity scene with Ryder, while reading the Christmas story to him from the book of Luke. It was really exciting to think of making this a part of our Christmas traditions each year. It made the focus of Christmas come together for me, in a very specific way.
It also had a special nostalgic value as well because the nativity scene belonged to my Dad's parents and had been in the family for many years so to get to set it up and share it with Ryder was really special.
