Nativity Scenes

Setting up the Nativity Scene was always one of my favorite things to do each Christmas Season. Kir and I would carefully unwrap each piece and place them one by one inside the stable. We would wait until Christmas Eve to place Baby Jesus in the manger. 

While putting up the Christmas tree was always kind of stressful (it toppled over on more than one occasion and now my mom ties it to a screw on the wall with fishing twine. Ha ha!), putting the nativity scene up was always really special and contemplative. 

Since moving out of my parents house and getting married, I have yet to purchase my own. This is my and Hubby's first Christmas in our new house and I am super excited to decorate. I can't wait to find a Nativity of our own!

Here are a few of my favorites, complete with sets for kiddos, since I am trying to find one to buy Hailey!

You Look Like the Fourth of July....

Happy Fourth of July! Remember this scene from Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde? Possibly one of the best lines of the whole movie is when Paulette says "You look like the Fourth of July! You make me wanna have a hot dog, real bad!" I still find that dialogue incredibly entertaining.

I hope y'all have some fabulous plans for today and a stellar patriotic ensemble! I'm spending the holiday studying and come fireworks time Hubby and I will head to the rooftop of our office building!

What are your plans? Chime in with a comment below!

Have a wonderful and safe celebration!
