My sis-in-law, Amy Jones, cut out the large wooden figures and painted this exquisite Nativity for us many many years ago. It is the first Christmas decoration to go up and the last to come down. The kids would often play with all the characters, putting baby Jesus on the back of the camel...or Mary and Joseph face to face...or sometimes baby Jesus face down (if they thought he had gotten in trouble with his folks that day!?!). Needless to say, it is well loved. Now that Amy is gone, it's all the more special to think of the time and love and care she put into this lovely set. Thank you Amy for your priceless gift.
A true treasure!
