Decorated for Christmas. I've been so excited for Christmas - but I have been dreading decorating for two simple reasons. Melanie and Julia. I figured that if I decorated nice and early, everything would be destroyed by Christmas (or re-decorated 10-12 times). Since Jeremiah's leave ends this Sunday and he'll be on duty Christmas Eve until Christmas morning, we decided to move it a few days forward. In lieu of doing this, we figured we should decorate today so the girls had some things to be excited about before the arrival of Christmas.

Another one of my favorite things at Christmas time is Nativities. The Washington D.C. Temple has a Nativity display every year. They display Nativities from all around the world. I never tire of looking at the Nativities, or the decorated trees for that matter. My mother has a special love for Nativities as well and has rubbed a bit of that love off on me. I decided a couple years ago that I would like to have a Willow Tree Nativity set. Each year when we go to the beach in the summer, I buy a different set of figurines to add to my Nativity. This year at the beach, I purchased the 3 Wise Men. Our display "area" is going to need some planning. We use what we can get for now as we are still acquiring things that we would like to adopt as a more permanent furniture/decoration piece.

I LOVE nativities. I buy a new one every year. Some can be pretty expensive so I avoid those right now. Actually my favorite one broke this year! I will have to buy a lot more when my kids are older and won't touch them. We have a Fisher Price one that we leave out and the kids love that one!
i need the wise men!
I found them at the Christmas Mouse in Nags Head, NC. I know they have a store in VA Beach - maybe they would have them (if you are looking).
