One of my favorite parts of the holidays with kids is how the arrange nativities. Of course I arrange them properly and then wonder who keeps messing it all up. But then I notice its always arranged in the same way. All the Mary's in one pile, all the Joseph's in another pile, then the babies together.
I forgot to the document the last shot I wanted, a few days later my son added another nativity into the mix with everyone forming a circle around the baby. Sure its not how an adult would do it, but I thought it was so sweet, and much more realistic. At my mom's there was a nativity that my niece could reach, but wasn't actually suppose to play with. It was very cute, because she turned around the wisemen so they were facing the baby.
David and Mary do this too! (I think all kids do.) It sort of drive me nuts--but whenever I stop and look at it, I can always see how their arrangement makes more sense. Sometimes we adults just don't know what's important!
