Cindy at http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ is hosting Show & Tell. To see many lovely blogs, go pay her a visit.It's been an unusually busy 2 months at our home, with 4 weeks of company and a 10 day trip to FL to see my Mom we are scurrying around trying to get up our Christmas decorations.
I wanted to share what we had made when our grandchildren from CA and our grandchildren from SC were together.
We went to get family pictures taken while we were all together and the photographer offered something for the children to do that we just couldn't pass on.
You may want to copy the concept.
Our four grandchildren posed in a manager scene as Mary, two angels and a little shepherd boy.
The photographer's Dad lives in Iowa and came across old barn wood and made the manger.
A life-like baby, hay and a number of gifts helped complete the setting.
The photographer's Mother came down for a visit, brought the manager and made all the children's clothes. A backdrop and star was added and viola, a Manger scene.
It sets on an easel in our dining room. A keepsake that we will have forever.
This is what the little munchkins look like out of costume. They were just good sports. The baby and the little guy took a bit more coaxing. We used lots of Gerber Puffs to bribe the baby to stand still. lol

The two little ones are reaching for some that we laid in the hay.
Thanks for visiting today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
