We Three Kings of Orient Are

"We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star.

O Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light."
- Rev. John Henry Hopkins


Big's preschool had their Christmas Play this afternoon at Finlandia Hall. All 4 locations of his school gathered to perform on stage. Big's classmates were dressed as 'Baby Kings' as their skit was looking for the King of Christmas. Their only line spoken was "Where's the king?" along with singing various carols and dancing with angels during the 2 hour show.



Out of his 6 classmates, 5 showed. Out of the 5, only 3 were brave enough to dress in costume and walk onto the stage. I am sad to say my child was not one of the brave ones today. After an hour of struggling and bribes (a package of M&Ms in his pocket), I did get his costume and crown on long enough to take a few pictures. After all that he would not let me leave the dressing room without him.





Unfortunately, Big watched the play from the front row on my lap. When his class first stepped on stage, he mentioned wanting to join them so I encouraged him to participate. He made it up the stairs and about 10 more feet before "freezing." Needless to say he rejoined me in the audience.








I was quite proud of all the Baby Kings and their performance today. Hopefully Big will gain enough courage to join next time.
