Christmas Season Feasts

On Jan 2nd we celebrated the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus by making some bread in the shape of Jesus name. I made the dough in the bread machine and we then rolled and shaped the dough and let it rise again before baking.


Unfortunately we began our project too late and the eating of the bread didn't happen until the next morning!



For the feast of the Epiphany we made a Three Kings cake and decorated it liberally with sprinkles


and chocolate chip "jewels"!


The children each received a new movie for the feast as well. Snow White got Saint Perpetua,



Flower Picker got Saint Patrick



and Do-Do got Holy baby. We have been enjoying them all!



Also in celebration of Epiphany we make toile paper tube flowers using the tutorial that Lacy posted on Catholic Icing from "Muffin Tin Mom". We did ours a little differently as I did not have spray paint so the girls painted the stars and sprinkled glitter on them to make them sparkle. They were very proud of the results and I think they look nice above our manger scene.




Here is our complete creche set with our homemade stars!


K week is going smoothly so far and I will hopefully have some pictures to post at the beginning of next week. The three Kings fit in perfectly with our letter this week!
