9th day of JOY...

The 9th day of December is filled with JOY because it's another day spent with Brooklyn...

We are watching the snow fall here up north but it is nothing like Grandpa Jeff is experiencing back home. Lots of snow and NW winds are leading to blizzard conditions...Grandma is thankful she wasn't on the road today and instead gets in more Brooklyn snuggling time. In yesterday's post, Cindy (Applestone Cottage) commented on loving Brooklyn's little stable. It is the Fisher Price Little People Nativity set. I gave both my little granddaughters one for Christmas as an early Christmas present so they can learn and play the Christmas Story from little on. I have to say it is the best - one of Brooklyn's very favorite toys especially when you put baby Jesus in the center and it plays Away in the Manger and Silent Night. She always does a little dance then :) When she puts the animals in the stable and opens/closes the door the animal make sounds and she can make the angel dance across the roof by pushing the star. Bailey has hers set up but is still too young to play - I look forward to many Christmases watching the girls get out their own special nativity sets that are made to be played with.
