Photo of the Week:
In case you have not seen it yet, go to You Tube and enter “Mary Did You Know” and Pentatonix (the a capella group). It is stunning. Has gotten 9 million hits in a week. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

Advent is coming up and I thought you might want to share it with Sarah Kate and Nathan for Advent.
Brennan absolutely loves the song and has already downloaded it to his iPhone.
