Asher

I needed to finish up my "nativity" series 

so I could post these pictures of our grandson Asher.  

These pictures are so precious to me, 

as we don't get to see him often, or hardly at all.  

This one is my favorite I think.

(It is hard to have a favorite, I love ALL the pictures)

The drool is just too cute.

We sent him this hat.

He's got a lot of cute hats.

He is definitely cuter than the hats.

But, OH BOY, look at him in that snow! 

I love this picture too.

He must have had too much of this nonsense!

Baby blues!

Asher and his dad, Justin.

And his mom Deanna.

She's such a good mama.

Love these faces!

Asher and his Aunt Halley.

The pure joy.

I can't wait to see Halley with her own baby!

A tired little one!

Love it!

And finally!

The end!  The last nativity.  This one we picked up recently from a booth in Canada from the man that crafted it.  It is a flat piece of wood with cutouts that you push out to display.   Both nativities that we got from Canada were made from wood.  This one is very nice and simple.

Gifted nativity

No wonder I waited to post these last.......I have no story and no memory.  This could be from the kids.......or it could be from Lincoln........I treasure it anyway as an addition to the collection.

On the home stretch

Only two more nativities after this one!  It seems as if I've left the mystery ones to the last.......I believe this was a gift from one of my children.  

I think it tells something about myself to not remember where the gifts come from that I receive.  What it tells, I'm not sure I want to delve into.  As Scarlett O'Hara would say......"I'll think about that tomorrow."  

We all know tomorrow never comes.  :-)

As everyone says here in this great state:  I hope you have a "blessed day."

A cute nativity

Another gift from my sister Trudy.  Thanks, Trude!

This one is actually a container.  It opens up and can be used to store something.  I don't know what to store in it, but it could be done!  :-)

Sicilian nativity

This one is from Messina Italy.  I did get one in the Vatican that was very similar to this one.  I gave it away to a Catholic family that I know.  I've been teaching children in their family for over 10 years and I knew they would appreciate it more than I.

Croatian nativity

I was in Croatia just last year and surprised myself when I turned this over and found the word "Croatia" on the bottom.  Oh, my poor family!  I hope they can handle taking care of me on my old age!  

I was joking about having Alzheimer's the other day and the person said they had "some"teimer's.  I like that!  I have it too!

I like the leaf on this nativity.  Creative!

Mystery nativity

I thought when I bought these nativities that I would have no problem remembering where they came from.  As my memory started slipping I started writing the places on the bottom of them.  

This one has no writing and no memory on my mind associated with it. I guess I should give myself a break as it has been tens of years that I've Benn gathering them.  Maybe when I least expect it I'll remember!  Right now, it's still a mystery.

A day later . . . . my file cabinet in my mind opened up :)  I'm pretty sure this was a gift from Lincoln's Sister, Celesta.  Cool!
