365 Days Of Pictures ~ Day 309

This picture was taken by my friend Sally!

I love the prayer trees at the Grotto.

Every year I place a pray on the tree.

They are one of my very favorite things to go and visit while we are there.

I love reading some of the many prayers and Praises.

Then I can as well pray too!

Mrs. Clause came to visit all the children on the 23rd.

She wanted to check on them and let them know that Santa would be using his new Red Line Sleigh!

It was so nice of her to stop in and visit with us all.
