Crowning of Mary - Take Two

On Mother's Day, both girls participated in the Crowning of Mary at our own church.  At our church, each child places a flower in a basket at the foot of the statute of Mary and then one child (never our child, much to their chagrin) places the crown of flowers on the statute's head.  They loved doing it and were all smiles as they walked down the aisle at church.

Waiting in the church basement. 

Elizabeth walked right in front of me as Emily placed her flowers in the basket. :-(
