Each Advent we have a fun little tradition with the figures of our Nativity Set -- an idea that my friend Heather gave me. Throughout December, each night after the kids go to bed, Pete and I hide Mary and Joseph somewhere in the downstairs rooms of our house. We've told the kids that M&J have to go on a long journey to Bethlehem, and they are slowly making their way around the house to the stable. So each morning the kids run to look for them. And, funnily enough, this year Colsen was the first one to find the pair on the first morning!
Here they are.... shh don't tell!
After December 25th, when they wearily reach their destination, their journey will be over. But the journey will just be beginning for the wise men! Then we will hide them each night until January 6th (Epiphany).
Lots of hiding and seeking around here!
