Annalee's obsessed...

Annalee has been a bit obsessed with Mary and Jesus and the whole birth of Jesus since last year at Christmas, at least. See this post from last year... . She is constantly reenacting how it must have gone down.

Just the other day, I noticed she was intently playing with the blocks and had several different things going on, and would totally FREAK if either of the boys got to close...

So I asked her what she had going on there, and she said...this is Bethlehem...

and this is the inn, where there was no room for them...(all the blocks inside are the people)

And this is the stable where baby Jesus was born...

And these are all the people in the town..

She had this very elaborate city laid out with all the details that she could remember...this has been my favorite part of Christmas this year.  What a sweet and tender heart she has.
