Out of the mouths of wise men...

Every year for many years now, my daddy and step-mom have given each of their children some sort of nativity scene. I always look forward to seeing what they come up with each year. The nativities have ranged from puzzles to figurines.

Thanksgiving night, my boys and I started to get out some of the Christmas decorations. This set in particular was packed with each individual piece wrapped serarately. As I begin to set it up, I was asking will questions to see if he remembered who the pieces were.


1st there was baby Jesus and some of the animals. (I apologize for the sideways picture, but it is relevent to the story and I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn it!).


Then there is Mary and Joseph, looking down at the sweet baby Jesus. Of course my brilliant son knew who they were! (note that I am proud) :)

Then as I am putting the last pieces together, I ask "Do you know who they are?". Duh...why did I even have a doubt?

My little "wise man" replies...(as sincere as any sweet 6 year old can be)..."that's the THREE PRIZE DUDES".


PRICELESS!



Needless to say, I giggled. He got his feelings hurt because I giggled. And it all went down hill from there. The moment was gone! But I thought I'd share.


Here are some of my nativity collection...
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Thanks for stopping by!

I love the fall season. It is amazing to me to view God's beautiful creation as I see the beautiful colors. It just makes me smile! It's not too HOT...well... it's cold today. I think a billion of my beautiful yellow leaves were blown onto the ground today. I will be sad to see them all gone and the cold moving in. So I just thought I'd take a minute to tell everyone that although I do not feel like I have anything profound to say, I do enjoy reading your blogs and keeping up with what's going on in your lives. And if you will, please keep my sister Amanda ( http://amanda-clayinhishands.blogspot.com/ ) in your prayers as she is trying to bring her beautiful girl home from Guatemala. She has run into another snag in the adoption process. Hopefully it is a small snag and will be back in and then out of PGN for good! We are so close. Flor is just beautiful and I can't wait to meet her! So, if you will just remember her when you pray! Thank you all for keeping me so entertained. Love to all!
