I'm finally getting around to posting our day last Wednesday, as we celebrated the Nativity of the Blessed Mother. Of course, we had to be in school, but we did have a birthday party for Mary with several of the classes. The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious! It had been kept in the freezer and was still partially frozen, which, for some reason, really made it good!!
YUM!
After school, we went to evening Mass, followed by Adoration. We haven't been to the Wednesday evening Mass for quite a while. (It tends, unfortunately, to be a wintertime routine that we loose the habit of in the summer.) Mary's birthday prompted us to go this evening and it was nice to get ourselves back into that habit.
The girls enjoyed the extra time spent with Jesus, too. We prayed the Rosary in honor of Mary, then we had the opportunity for reconciliation.
Once at home, the three of us made blueberry muffins (more for the next day's breakfast, but they were perfect for Mary's birthday celebration!).
Bug formed them into a cross and chose blue candles...interestingly enough, there were seven blue candles and seven muffins made a perfect cross. Just enough for the seven sorrows (although that's next Wednesday, isn't it!?)
With a little bit of extra time before bed (and no homework!) the girls got creative on their own. They dug into the "old clothes" box and pulled out two old uniform shirts. They decorated the fronts with markers just for fun, making "I belong to God" shirts!
There is a story there...Father has a T-shirt that says the same thing and he happened to have it on at school. Evidently the girls liked it!
Happy Birthday, Mary!
Blessed Mary, Mother of us all, Pray for us!
