My "Willow Tree" nativity scene will never be the same! Not long after I had every piece placed "just so", action figures and dinosaurs started to arrive to see the baby Jesus! Even the Nutcracker left his post to check him out! Did you know that Buzz, Woody, Spidey and Sandman were there, too?

When we arrived home from church on Sunday, we found a new friend had arrived in the yard! He has been affectionately named "Prancer" by Beckett. Helen wanted to name him Rudolph, but of course, there is no red nose! The clues are beginning to come together, but still no clear cut answers as to how Prancer decided to make our front yard his new home! Beckett is just glad to have "an outside decoration"! The lights on our tree and in the windows just aren't enough for him! At least now, we have a lone reindeer to spruce up our yard for the holidays!

Merry

Christmas!
