Christmas Decorating

Last week, I decided on a whim to pull out our nativity scenes so we could start teaching Samuel about Christmas. Given that he loves animals right now, it is no surprise that he immediately fell in love with the animals in the nativity scene. He set all the characters in the stables, and then promptly unloaded them so he could play with them. He carried them all around, gathered the babies from the sets together, put them all back, showed them to Grandma and told her "stories" about the characters. It was really cute. Then we pulled out some other decorations, including the advent candle holder, which completely fascinated the little dude. He couldn't figure out what to make of that. He did, however, figure out that the candle holders fit nicely on his nose. Funny. Here are a couple of pictures.
