Putting up the Nativity scene

Monday night we put up the Christmas tree and one box of ornaments.  After the tree was up we just sat there in the dark and looked at it.  There was one box of ornaments that wasn't in the attic so that was on the tree.  It included my absolute favorites.

Tuesday night we put up the manger.  That way we didn't have to send Scotland to the attic.  That was lots of fun.  She decided she wanted to take them out the boxes.  I put the boxes on the credenza.   Then she decorated.  She asked where to put the angels so they wouldn't be seen.  I was confused,  Then she said, "You can't see angels".   I explained that angels can be seen if they want to be seen.  I showed her how Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the barn animals had to be inside.  But the rest could be wherever she wanted them.  I had to put the hanging angel up.  Then she arranged the other figurines how she wanted them.  I have a basket with stuff in it.  She put the sheep eating the stuff.  The goat was ahead of the sheep.

I told her she could play with the figurines as long as they stayed on the credenza.  She was confused about how she could play with them.  To demonstrate I picked up one on the outer edge, and had it ask the one in front "Have you been able to catch sight of baby Jesus yet?"   The answer was, "Not yet, it is a real crowd scene here."   Tatiana thought that was pretty funny.

I am working from home today.  I was inside getting lunch when Tatiana and JJ came in to play.  Tatiana told JJ that they could play with the nativity set.   They started out playing, and that quickly devolved into them playing animals.  They are playing in the backyard now.
