Believe



This is one of my favorite photos of Annie. It was taken at church, before the Children's Mass, on Christmas Eve, many years ago. The children went up on the altar where the large nativity figures were gathered and placed a piece of straw in the manger to prepare a soft bed for Baby Jesus.

You can see how much Annie enjoyed all the fun! Annie still gets this excited at Christmas. She still "believes"...and I think she always will. 

Annie had the same look on her face this morning when she opened a special gift that arrived in the mail yesterday.


This sweet punch needle owl was made by Nancee...http://flew-the-coop.blogspot.com/. Annie's face lit up when she saw the package with her name on it. She was overjoyed to find an owl inside to add to her tree! Thank you, Nancee, for your kindness, for thinking about my girl...and for the lovely little owl that has joined the others on Annie's tree.

The Spirit of Christmas...like my Annie...I am a believer!

Hope you are enjoying these last few days before Christmas. 

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

    I love the little punch hooked owl ornament too. It will be loved by Annie for sure. I think that it's so special that Annie still believe. It makes Christmas that more special.

    Only a few more days to Christmas. It went unbelievably quick.
    Stay safe and warm. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
    Hugs,
