Away in a Manger

She's a smart one, this little girl. She especially can spot Jesus a mile away. Whether it's the banner in her room, just seeing the Church building, or a new picture she's never seen at her grandparent's house.

She gets excited during the procession at church and says Hi to Jesus as they walk up with the crucifix. During the recessional she'll say bye bye to Jesus and blow Him kisses.

She's especially obsessed with the little nativity scene we have.  She sat on my lap the other day as I was explaining who each person was.  She proudly points to them herself and shouts out the names.  At the little age of 1 1/2 she gets it.  She gets what Christmas is all about, and if you ask, she'll shout, "Jeeeeessssuuuussss!"
