Our Manger

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Hauled all the Christmas stuff down today. Grace has been setting up small decorations including the little tree in her room. Here is out Nativity set. An elderly lady and long time friend gave us the set that she had made 26 years ago as a wedding gift. 17 pieces and we have not broke one yet. She also gave all of our kids ceramic ornaments for the tree and at easter time. She gave our 3 oldest kids a nativity set for their weddings too. A few weeks ago my good friend Eric made us this lighted Manger to put them in.
This whole set is as big as a laundry basket.
