The Best Mary Ever!

When Katie said she was going to "Cast" Jovie as Mary in the annual Charlotte Jeppson's nativity... all I said was "are you sure?" Why? Because, Jovie is my wild child... a free spirit so to speak!

She climbs couches, wrestles anyone, is quickly learning to run! Getting her to sit still is sometimes near impossible, and so getting her to sit, hold a baby Jesus, and look innocent and sweet for pictures concerned me a little! I did not want Katie's nativity to be ruined by a 1 year old who is clenching her fists tight to her side and screaming red faced at the top of her lungs because you are making her do something she does not want to do! Jovie does what Jovie wants to do!

Now I repent for ever even thinking those thoughts,because she was
THE BEST MARY EVER!!!


She sat there so sweet, holding her baby Jesus, wrapping him up, looking at Joseph (aka Colin), and posing so well for the camera! She also was so cute walking around in her long light-blue costume! She could only take small steps at a time because of its length, but it did not bother her one bit! She would not wear the head scarf, but other than that she was a great little Mary! Thanks Katie for believing in my Jovie! I was such a proud momma!
