Away in a Manger...

You know it's truly Christmas season when these guys...

 come out of storage.  Adorable, right?  

We've been letting Madeline play with it, but the pieces keep going missing.  We lost the Baby Jesus for an entire day.  He was behind the TV console.  We lost Joseph for about an hour.  We filled in his place with the Little People zoo keeper until he was found.  He was under the TV console.

At least Madeline's not frightened of this Baby Jesus.  Gal's got to get her religious education somehow, and since she's not baptized and her parents are unmarried, this is probably her best bet.  (At least until she's old enough to watch The Ten Commandments.)
