Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This project sounds neat. Thanks for posting about it. The kids were asking what we were going to do with the tree. My 9 year old went out and cut off all the branches today. He thought that was fun.

Yes, I think it brings out something primal in boys. You know as the mother of a son that they have to be *doing* something.    

At the rate our Jack is going, the level of craft-alongs will have to rise to building sheds, barns and houses by the time he's 18!

... Aaaaaand we're back! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a hatchet anymore?   

At any rate, we've got one now and I'll send Jack outside to do the rest of the Lenten/Easter Cross construction.

Then we'll go over what the girls can do with it for Easter Sunday!

In case you missed the permalink, here it is again for your convenience!

An Easter Cross from Your Christmas Tree
