The Littlest Angel
At the last minute on Sunday, our youth minister at St. Barts, Ms. Kathy, asked if Mary Clare would dress up for the children’s choir pre-Christmas nativity program. (The children performed for the adult Sunday School class. It was a dress rehearsal for their Christmas Eve performance.) Mel got these shots on his iphone as I stood near the children, (just in case).
My sweet Mary Clare dressed up (halo and all), walked right up to McCanless and stood in front of the children for the entire performance. She was a complete doll and smiled and even danced a bit. She was quite the star of the show. I shouldn’t be surprised. Mary Clare’s favorite thing to do now is dress up. Like her big sister, she is obsessed with all things pink and glittery. Every day she chooses a princess dress to wear and refuses to take it off until I hold her down!

She IS an angel. I just can imagine her in that “costume”, the way she loves to dress up. I still remember having McCanless on Daufuskie while Mary Clare had her surgery last year. This will be the FIRST Christmas she will really be able to enjoy. What a sweetie. Love, Mimi

How appropriate for little Mary Clare to be the angel. I’ve been thinking about you often this month and what a miracle your baby girl is!
