I thought I would take this opportunity to share a few more pictures from this year’s Santa Lucia Celebration!

Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life.

The girls all looked so pretty, dressed for our little Santa Lucia Celebration!
{happy}
Very, very happy that we ended up baking St. Lucia’s Braided Bread this year. The other surprise treats, a jar of Lingonberries
imported from Sweden (purchased locally) and a darling little Santa Lucia Doll for our sweet girl who was celebrating a name day, were a happy addition as well!

Our little “Star Boy” was so cute, as always, even when yawning. He was very excited to be having WHITE BREAD for dessert. Our little picky eater’s favorite!

It may not fit me (ever again!) but my pre-maternity white t-shirts, paired with a ribbon from a Gymboree Christmas gift box, make a perfect Santa Lucia gown for an almost two year old! (All you have to do is pin the neckline in the back, so it’s not too loose.)
Visit Like Mother, Like Daughter for more pictures of contentment!

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Simply precious pictures! How memorable for your family.
Beautiful! We talked about doing something similar, but didn't make the time. I'm inspired for next year. Thanks for sharing.
Such sweet moments! Lovely!
