I am impressed you made that Nativity. I love the song Oh Holy Night too. I enjoyed reading your answers to all the Christmas questions. That was a fun idea.
You weren't kidding when you said that you had a ton of nativity sets. What a cool thing to collect..I guess its much better than collecting santas or something else. Oh how I love McDreamy...I haven't seen the movie yet, maybe over christmas break I'll make Steve take me. :)
p.s Have you finished goosegirl yet???
I had no idea you like everybody loves raymond! I watch that every night right before I go to bed. That was fun to read the "Christmas getting to know you" I might do that too. I cant wait to take Daesha to see enchanted. Maybe I will take her and Shamae next week.
we love everybody loves raymond at our house b/c it is so real and like us! haha
Thanks for the gift. I haven't had time to take the picture of it and blog about it. My son took the candy before I could even figure out what it was.
We did have girls night out. We went to the cheesecake factory. ooh go good! We had to wait 2 hours for a table. But its ok its right next to the mall, so we walked around for a couple hours. We missed having you there-REALLY. But I am sure you dont miss staying out till 2:00 am. But we did have a good time walking off our dinner at walmart because it was the only store open that late. I am sure you will be getting your stuff from Betty soon. She's so great!
I love all your nativities, I think it's so fun that you collect them. And it was fun reading your answers to the Christmas questions - I LOVE this time of year! :)
i can't believe you made that nativity. i am so impressed.
Ok, so remember how I said I wasn't going to buy any more books. Well I couldn't help myself! (I know...I have a problem) anyways, I bought Enna Burning and River Secrets the last 2 in the series... so when I am finished you can borrow them! :)
you should be happy to know that today we were given our very first nativity set. ever. it's a little painted wooden set for the kids to play with and set up. mike's aunt gave it to us. i am thrilled. now i have my own "start" of nativity sets. yours have all been so cute, i've actually decided i need to get some too!
We have 2 nativity sets. One is something Matt brought back from his mission and it is all black, the other is a tiny ornament we picked up in Chile. I love yours!
Wow! You made that nativity. I'm truly impressed! What a keepsake. Thanks for your movie review. I think I'll try to rope some girls into coming along with me. I don't know if Stephen's manhood could take it.
