The Nativity


I guess I should tell you what happened with the nativity.
I don't know what happened with Wayne if he forgot or was looking around here for one but a few days before my Dad was to arive he talked with Wayne and asked him what I wanted for Christmas.Of course he told him the nativity. So As my dad was driving from Idaho to Washington and to Canada he would stop every Chance he could to look for one. He wasn't having any luck. His last night in Montana He was in Kalispell. He saw this little antique shop and Stopped and what did he find. A German nativity carousel. It was missing Baby Jesus but when my Daddy brought it out and showed me I just bawled. It will forever be my favorite Nativity.

I was looking on the internet for a place to find a replacement Jesus but I found on Ebay that they had the Carousels. So I looked at a few and we won one for $10 it said it needed some work but I was happy that my husband said get it. I didn't need to be told twice. Man it needed a lot more work then the ad said but that is ok. I am very happy to have the one from my Husband.



You know how Ebay will send emails saying here is a similar item. Normally I Ignore them. However, I looked at this email and It was a Carousel. It was the same one that I grew up with. I thought no its ok. I have enough I will be able to find it again. The price was ok but I was afraid it might go up. and there was a few days left on the auction. Well the night the action clossed wayne and I were hang'n out and I happened to check the auction and the price had stayed the same. Once again my wonderful Husband said get it.


Well I thought my colection was complete for the year. A good friend of mine come to my house when these 3 were set up and said oh i got an email about one of those. Its 50% off now. This was the one I had seen in the Cateloge. Oh ok I thought. About 2 weeks later I looked for fun I thought that would be a great gift for someone next year. I looked and it was 90% off. I couldn't resist so I have my 2010 addition to my collection. This is the one that I wanted to start my collection with.





I am so grateful that my daddy started my collection for me. It was a little crazy to have it grow so fast but I am very happy to have this collection and I hope that it can Grow.
