Beanbag Nativity!

 

When I was about 12 or so, my mom 

made about 50 beanbag nativity sets!

She gave them to family members

for Christmas gifts.

None of my mom's 5 kids got one...

we were little...so what?

Well, my mom died when I was in high school

and I got married 1 1/2 years later.

(several years before anyone else)  

In the meantime, my grandpa died. 

I received his beanbag nativity set.

(sorry brothers and sisters)

 

 They are basic enough...maybe someday

I'll make a bunch, but it doesn't 

look good for a few years.

In the meantime, you can tell that my

set is WELL LOVED!

  When my daughter was 2 she loved baby Jesus.

She would play with him like a baby doll.

One day, He went missing.

I searched everywhere and was so 

worried he got thrown out!

A few weeks later,

I found him in the pocket of a denim blanket we had.

She must have tucked him in and forgotten.

Ya, well loved.
