The mother is on her knees, one hand over her heart. The father stands above, leaning on his staff.
The baby is apart from it all, face down, his bare bottom exposed.
This, is our nativity scene.
And two children sit precariously close to the edge, ready to fall off the table.
An angel looks over them all.
Jumbled up, mixed around, unorganized. Loved by little hands.
I love our Fontanini Nativity. I'm not exactly sure what the characters are made of (plastic?), but they look nice, not cheap, and are child-friendly.
We have this set because we want our kids to be able to play with our nativity scene and not worry about a sheep losing a leg, Mary losing her arm, or baby Jesus losing his head.
Another bonus? We started a tradition of getting a new figurine each year.

Oh that totally sounds like our house. Our Christmas decorations are taking a beating this year. My mom gave my son her collection of Nutcracker dolls... bad idea.
ReplyDeleteWe have a nutcracker ornament that falls apart every year. After being reglued multiple times.
DeleteThis looks like the exact same nativity scene that we had growing up! My daughter helped set up our nativity set this year...not how I would have done it, but she was so proud! :)
