at midnight, it is the custom to put baby jesus in the manger... this is me having the honor of putting jesus in the nativity scene this year.

This is a video of the Christmas Eve dinner we had with my family. The big nativity scene behind the table is set up because at midnight we place baby jesus in the manger. I got the honor of placing jesus inside it this year!! I have a video of that too I hope to put up.

It's that time of year... christmas time is here


campanas with ribbon...my idea and the raw materials cost less but look nicer so we sell it for more and they sold out at the fair!!

one of the purses with the wooden asas(handles) ...only 20 soles ruffly 6 dollars!!

this is made with the tela that we got from Cajamarca and the wooden asas...40 soles...roughly 13 dollars!

oh the ways you can entertain yourself at a fair you are at for 10 hours a day!!! Haha this was among the various games of "throw the straw ball inside the sombrero - 1 point" game and the "how many straw balls can you juggle at once" game... yeh it was like that

another pic of the fair signs outside jockey plaza

signs out for the fair

Another shot of the fair stand

Another shot... i did the whole set up with cardboard boxes and table clothes
Picture from the side of our stand at the Fair

our new kitten named Elicita... basically its a little me because of its hair and light eyes!! She's so little!!
