A Christmas Project

For over a year now, I've had this picture in my mind of the nativity that I wanted for my front yard. Had all the supplies and ample ideas. Just hadn't gotten a round tuit...... Until last weekend when mom and dad were here. Mom and I baked cookies and I asked my dad if he would copy a silhouette that was on last year's bulletin onto a piece of plywood. He gladly agreed at which time I actually lugged the piece upstairs and put it on the coffeetable to do during commercials in a movie we were watching. Yep - I'm crazy. But it was so worth it. He did this on Sunday night and I proceeded to cut it out, prime and paint it and get it up tonight. In between baking and packaging probably 15 dozen cookies and making candy..... I truly do love this season....:) But I promised I'd make the pictures available for my dad to see. Without his excellent artistic skills, it would have been completely out of proportion.....

It's a bit blurry but you get the idea:)!
