Setting up the nativity

 Mein Spatz covered the table with a green cloth.

 First the stable.
Then, Jesus and his parents.

 And finally, the plants and animals.

 He then played with the scene for a while.

Making sure that all of the animals got a drink from the trough.

 And then he placed Jesus on Mary's knee for a cuddle.

 Henry then gave it his "snout of approval".

Glowing in the room at night.

It adds a sense of calm and reflection to the night.

Birthday boy

Mein Spatz is four

Yesterday we spent a beautiful day together celebrating Mein Spatz's Fourth birthday.

It was just our little family with a special guest-Grandma.

He wanted to take a helicopter flight for his present.

He flew with Vati for a 10 minute tour of the Barossa Valley.

My feet stayed firmly planted on the Earth.

It was a glorious day.

Grandma's Scooter was a great hit also.
