When we got out the Fisher Price nativity set last week Asher was quick to add in his extra farm animals so there could be another sheep, horse, and an extra goat. We set everything up and then I acted out the story for him using the little characters. I explained that Mary and Joseph had to make a long trip, but they didn’t have a car so Mary rode on the donkey. Asher was very sweet to grab a bus from his stash for Mary… guess he couldn’t bear the thought of her making that journey on a donkey. :) The double-decker bus now appears to be a permanent fixture in his nativity scene!
The excitement and enthusiasm Asher has for all things *Christmas* is so sweet and fun. I just wish I could bottle it up!

On a side note, Asher brought me Mary today and told me that she was going to make Christmas Cookies. I’m guessing he looked at the Wise Men, Joseph, and the Shepherds and realized his best chance for cookies was with Mary. ;) I guess it’s time for Mommy to make some cookies with Asher!!
