Favorite Nativity Scenes
Here are a few of my favorite nativity scenes. Just looking at them brings me joy. In fact, I’d be happy to leave them out all year round!
These are the smallest items–made in Peru.

Dear Mom, As promised,
Christmas pictures from Longwood. Here they are! We got there about 4:15pm, early enough to miss the rush. Here’s what we saw as we walked toward the conservatory.
