Step by Step
December 1st - 5th
 |
| Went outside and found stuff. Got some new "palm trees" at the hardware store, cleaned all the books off the bookcase, and set up the table with some burlap. |
 |
| Lights and structure. Added bricks to hold in the sand (also, learned last year to put a piece of plastic tarp under the burlap to make clean up easier later.) |
 |
| Adding incidentals, putting things in place. Found out the night after this picture was taken that I had to move the rocking chair because super-pup, Dawsey, thought the whole purpose of this venture was to make him a new "lookout" through that window there. He's bummed now that he can't jump up. (Mean old Mom.) |

December 8th
The shepherds have arrived with their sheep.
 |
| It's a little dark. Can you see? I'll take better pics with the big camera at some point, I promise. |
 |
| The miscellaneous bits and pieces: jugs, tools, a length of rope hanging on the wall. And the cow is over there, too, just not in this shot. |
 |
| Two of the shepherds and the sheep -- and the beginnings of the campfire. |
 |
| Inside the "town of Bethlehem," on one of the rooftop living spaces. See Gabe's kittycat? The children made these dishes out of sculpey a couple years ago. The well bricks, too! |
 |
| A citizen of the town near the "loom." A lost shepherd. He'll find his way down on Christmas eve. |
