An evolving Nativity

I set up our nativity with the pieces all proportionately placed on the table.
Several hours later I came back to find this:

I guess Ashlyn decided no one could really see the baby Jesus. I like how she turned the baby Jesus so he is looking toward his mother. Very sweet!

Then for Family Home Evening I gave a lesson on the wisemen and the gifts they brought (my kids learned through the scriptures that the number three is just a myth; we really don't know how many there were). We discussed gold, frankincense, and myrrh and their symbolic meanings.

The next morning I found my nativity set had been tampered with again.

And I like the changes.
