A Star in the Night

This year something new has been added to our backyard.

Thought it would be nice to have an outdoor manger scene.

Hubs is a saver of every scrap of anything so there was no need to buy a single thing except a star for the top!

 Now that's a thrifty project!

I had white ceramic figures made by a dear friend many, many years ago and decided to use them for the outdoor creche.

Hubs did a super job making a cave-like enclosure.

He recently added a string of white lights and the star!

I put lighted candles out each night, too. 

It's so wonderful to look out of the kitchen window and see this simple yet beautiful creche lighting up the darkness of the night!

It reminds me of that holy night so long ago that forever changed the world.
