I love to decorate with nativity scenes . . . they kind of emphasize the whole
point of 'the holidays' anyway, right?
This beautiful set we picked up on our Honeymoon in Cozumel.
It stays up and out of reach!
This is one of my first homemade numbers from a Super Saturday
ages ago. The kids love to play with it and it's pretty sturdy. It's actually now on the floor in the family room where it can be played with.
I love my front porch set.
I won this set from the table raffle at the California Utah Women's Boutique luncheon
at the Disneyland Hotel
My friend Kim gave us this set - it is darling and another favorite of the kids.
I'm amazed that nothing has gotten broken on it yet. **update: spoke too soon . . . poor Joseph's staff got broken yesterday. Hopefully nothing a dab of glue can't fix**
I made these little guys years ago and they adorn a picture shelf in the entry way.
I love how Fisher-Price made a nativity. It's so adorable and is in our play room.
Our bishopric gave us this framed picture this year. I love it and put it in the downstairs bathroom - the one room that was missing a nativity scene!
Another home-made craft that was a gift to me.
Heather made this advent calendar for us years ago. It is a family favorite and hangs on the closet door in our family room every year. The kids never need to be asked or reminded to put up the day's item - they just do it every morning and look forward to it. The details with the sequins and fabrics and stitching are incredible. It is definitely a treasure! Thanks Heather!!

This is so neat, Marrianne! The Nativity has always been my favorite as well and is the first thing that goes up at Christmas time. I still have the little 'baby Jesus' and manger that my grandma had. She would wait for my visit and let me put it up each year. Jesus is the reason for Christmas! Thank you for sharing.
I love it!
What a neat tradition to have so many!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Love all the treasures :) I used to put a nativity in each bedroom & this year gave it just a passing thought!snap. Special memories :)
I think that it is so great that you have sets that are special and those that can be played with. I love all the different versions - I am in awe that your Bishopric gave you a framed photo such as that. I better pass that on to the couns. in our Bishopric! Great idea!
These are all wonderful! I need to track down one of the Fisher Price nativities too. A friend of mine had it and my kids loved it. How fun that you have it in your play room. I've got the wood one with the star on a stick...gotta love RS Super Saturdays:)
