Mary

Ever since Christmas, Savannah has been on a Mary kick. It goes way deeper than when she thought she was Snow White. Which is fine by me. Mary is a pretty dang good role model. If she's going to have a hero, that's a pretty good choice. She corrects people when they call her "Savannah." She's Mary, ok? Don't forget it. And don't forget Bunny, aka Baby Jesus, who must have his special blanket. And if she's going to be Mary, she's never complete without her shawl, which is always her pink and brown afghan. So needless to say, this is a very common sight these days...

And there have been many pictures that look like this...

And I honestly don't even know where it came from. She went to one Christmas play, and she watches a Veggie Tales Christmas video (thanks Lisa!), but the further we get from Christmas, the more the obsession grows. But it makes me happy that she actually comprehends why baby Jesus came. The gospel according to a three year old....

[After watching said video.]
Sav: "God loves us SO much, right?"
Me: "Yes! He's always going to love us..."
Sav: "...and He came to help us! And He's never gonna go bye-bye. And He's gonna get in my heart!"
