Chas asked me to make a nativity scene like the one on the table at our local church. He has played with it the past few weeks and I’ve rounded up the little figures for many evenings. I’ve found baby Jesus in the bedsheets, under the nightstand and in a shoe, among other places.
Ford wanted a houseful of gems, “Gems, Everywhere!” he mentioned many times. Santa met him somewhere on the way to halfway. But he got a microscope, so the handfuls (or little felted bowlfuls) of miniatures seemed pretty magnificent.
All Chas wanted were balls, which he was very pleased to recieve.
Our favorite Christmas book this year was Christmastime in Noisy Village, so I thought it was cute that, instead of skiiing on Christmas day (as the children did in the book), we instead skateboarded the rest of the day. I think it might become a new tradition, and the book is so wonderfully loaded with old family traditions that we continue today, anyway. have you read it?
We skated into the night and until eleven. So, that’s moonlight. We don’t have streetlights on our rural road.
I feel like that rocket in the picture above.
Oh my.
A new family tradition to all skateboard together on xmas day until late into the night.
You are definitely the coolest crew I know 🙂
Welcome, welcome, and happy, happy to all of you!
