Baby Jesus

I know it has been a while, but to say the Forbes family has been busy would be an understatement. 3 years ago our second son, Sam, was asked to be Baby Jesus in the live nativity scene at our church. Fast forward to present day and our new parish asked if Duke would be Baby Jesus in their Christmas Eve service. Well of course we jumped at the opportunity! 2 out of our 3 boys have been Jesus, how many people can say that?

Baby Jesus 2009. (I forgot to mention Andy and I were asked to be Mary and Joesph.)

Baby Jesus 2012, and Mary. (one of my former students)

During the Christmas Eve service all of the children are asked to participate in the program. My boys chose to be shepherds.

Mary, Joesph and Baby Jesus.

He was that perfect the whole service, no lie.

The shepherds..

The kings brought their gifts.

The whole nativity scene.

The whole service was amazing. Alas, I will have no more Baby Jesus to offer to the Christmas Eve service, but my children will always be a part of this beautiful tradition.
