The Wise Ones

Each year our church hosts a live nativity.  You might recall in years past we've taken our turn at being shepherds, kings and even the holy family with Reid as baby Jesus.  Now that the boys are older, I decided to sit out in the crowd and watch these handsome three kings perform at the live nativity. 
 
 There they come bringing gifts to baby Jesus.
 Connor had so much fun! Even after the 3 shows they were in, he wasn't ready for his role to be over.  He starred in a 4th show by himself while Josh and Reid and I watched from the audience.  As soon as Connor and the other kings emerged from the distance, Reid took off running yelling "Hi Connor! Hi Connor!"  He ran right up to Connor (front and center) waved to him, then ran back to his seat.  It was pretty funny!


Because they did such a wonderful job, we were asked to once again be "wise ones" for the Christmas Eve service.  (Mommy joined them this time!)  Here we are walking down the aisle.

 A little bickering between the kings going on. Normal.
 At the children's service all of the kids in the congregation get to be either angels, shepherds or kings.  I told Connor that we get to lead all of the kings to baby Jesus and he said, "yeah we're the leaders because we're the Settlemeyer Family!" Such a wise one! :)
