The past Sunday, Rose Marie expressed her excitement in Church! We were on our way back to our pew, after receiving Jesus in the Eucharist, when the Church's Advent wreath came into view. She got so excited that she started skipping (instead of quietly walking!) and "whispered" loudly, "Mommy, ALL of the candles are lit! Christmas is almost here!!!" People around us, began giggling and I tried to keep a straight face as I corralled her back to the pew. I am grateful to learn that she is understanding what has been taking place over these last four weeks. She understands that we have been preparing and that the wait is almost over.
So, here are our final photos from our presentations. I hope to have a presentation with her on Christmas Eve and if we do, I will be sure to put pictures of that up as well. This week we focused on the Visitation. This story seemed to mean much more to Rose Marie than the Annunciation, which I thought was interesting. She was much quieter and more attentive with this story. After this, she wasn't so interested in using the works again, but she played being pregnant all day! She talked about her baby moving in her tummy because the baby was happy.

Your presentations are truly beautiful. You are such a good and wonderful mommy for gently planting these seeds of grace in your little daughter's mind. Good job, you! :)
