Hunter's Nativities...

 The house is ready for Christmas.  We've had it decorated for a few weeks but I just didn't get around to posting photos on my blog.  The boys helped with the tree.  It was a nice fun time. 
 My little Hunter loves to decorate for Christmas so I pretty much just let him take over.  Here is his little village that he set up.  As you can see he made a big hill/slide down the center so he could push the sleds down.  :)  From time-to-time I have walked by and saw a few Hot Wheels cars that have crashed there too.  :)  Silly boy! 
 He set up my Jim Shore Nativity too.  I love this one, it has such detail. 
 This Nativity belongs to Hunter.  I bought it at a yard sale still sealed in the box.  He loves it. 
 Hunter has this thing for Nativities!  He loves them and wants our big tree to be decorated with nothing but Nativities and Crosses.  We have a few but the Nativity ornaments are hard to find around here.  So our plan is to collect them over the years and maybe someday he will have his tree full of them. 
 Actually found this one on the after Christmas clearance last year. 
 Mom bought him this one last year. 
 Another clearance find...
 Our large Jim Shore Nativity that he wanted to put on top of the grandfather clock.  :)  This is another one of my favorites. 
 Our big Jim Shore Santa...
 I have several more smaller Jim Shore figurines but I didn't put them all out this year as I was just too lazy.  :)  Next year the boys and I have big plans to decorate!!!  Of course, Hunter will be on the prowl for more Nativities.  :)

Hunter was also in the Church Christmas Play and the Christmas program at school.  I have them on my video camera but can't figure out how to get them on my laptop as I can't find my software disk to load on the laptop and my desktop will not work but it had the software loaded on it.  So I guess I will have to call JVC to see if there is something that I can download online to make everything work on the laptop.

Your home looks lovely. I have not put up one decoration. Could you send Hunter 'overnight express' so he could help me? I'll have him back in time for Christmas.

This is your first Christmas in the new house I believe? Enjoy. My son is big into Christmas too - he did our nativity and decorated the two trees with me. Enjoy your family time.

You have many wonderful Nativity decorations. I had not seen a Jim Shore one. Looks good size. Thank you for sharing pictures of your collection.

Kristie, I do free standing lace on my embroidery machine and I have a really nice Nativity design that I would love to send Hunter for next year's tree. I don't put up a Christmas tree, but my Nativity will always be up for Christmas...
