Presépio is Portuguese for "Nativity Scene". Follow along as we build this year's version of a long family tradition. Mai e Pai (Mom & Dad, in Portuguese) started this tradition with just a few figurines bought in a Paris airport, to hundreds of pieces lovingly collected or hand-crafted over the decades and across two continents.

Trains, Pools & Automobiles- anachronisms be damned! 14 Dec


OK - a little of the fun details...
Now, you may say - but wait - there weren't many swimming pools or Mini Coopers when Christ was born, but well, for that matter, nor were there street lights or trains...so let's just forget about pointing out all the little "inaccuracies".

Here you see  the swimming pool going in one of the yards, and the newly paved driveway with my ragtop already parked there.  Top's down, of course!

Sorry for the fuzziness in some of these shots... maybe one of my photog relatives or friends can do a shoot for me!

  1. Is this swimming pool new this year? I can't wait to come over and take a dip in it! Since we're not troubling ourselves about "all the little inaccuracies", we don't have to worry about my displacement now do we?
