Tommy and Michael called us a few evenings ago with the big news that they had been putting up Christmas decorations and were all excited about the upcoming season. When they finished chatting with us (sometimes this happens abruptly!) Mark came on the line to fill in the spaces of the conversation. He told us that when the decorating was finished he brought out some old Christmas toys for the boys to play with but Michael held out for "the Jesus house." Assuming that meant the manger set, that was the next to be brought out and set up. The nutcrackers weren't far behind. As the afternoon and play continued Mark described a battle that somehow broke out among the nutcrackers and the manger people.
Only a couple of boys could come up with this scenario! Every so often on our trip back to Minnesota as we drive along one of us will mention "the Jesus house" and we end up laughing hysterically. We can't wait to get home!
