…with candlelight
…with an orange cinnamon roll wreath and hot cocoa
…and with prayer
Saint Lucy, thy beautiful name signifies light. By the light of faith which God bestowed upon thee, increase and preserve this light in my soul so that I may avoid evil, be zealous in the performance of good works, and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and the darkness of evil and of sin. By thine intercession with God, obtain for me perfect vision for my bodily eyes and the grace to use them for God's greater honor and glory and the salvation of all men.
Saint Lucy, virgin and martyr, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. Amen.
St. Lucy, virgin and martyr,
ora pro nobis!
Kelly, those cinnamon rolls look scrumptious!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly! I made the wreath with tubes of refrigerated orange cinnamon rolls. Easy *and* tasty! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome... really! Such a good mom! +JMJ+
ReplyDeleteKelly!! We celebrated this morning with your wonderful candle head wreath!! Couldn't wait to use it!! We also used tubes of cinnamon rolls...much easier!
ReplyDeleteThen, I left for my 4 doctor appts, at 10:30 and finished at 3pm, with a 1/2 hour for lunch inbetween. Then onto a band concert tonite!!
I'll post tomorrow!!
(Thank you so much!!!!)
Jamie--Oh! I'm looking forward to your post! I hope your daughter enjoyed it! I know my daughter, Dancer, loved every moment. Though getting up early was a bit of a sacrifice…for both of us. ;) She wore her crown and sash most of the day.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how many doctor appts you have! You're supposed to be taking it easy this last trimester and these appts seem to have you hopping more than anything else. I sure hope you are getting sound rest at night.
You and the baby continue to be in my prayers. Love you!
Refrigerated rolls or no, that wreath is stunning! My pan of rolls was rather...meh, to be honest, (I think I over-scalded the milk and zapped the heck out of those poor little yeasties), but still they were gobbled up appreciatively.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's just it, isn't it? It doesn't seem to matter if the day isn't perfect. In the end that's not what they remember!
Beautiful and juicy post with those cinnamon rolls...we'll try that out next time:)Just have to say that I enjoyed the glimpse into your family table of blessings! (That little guy in the high chair is just precious) He looks like he rolls with the punches pretty well!
ReplyDeleteMom2Seven and Tiffany--Thank you, ladies!
ReplyDeleteMargaret-- You're so right. It's usually the times that I think the celebration was a flop that the kids think everything is wonderful. Really the only reason I think it's ever a flop is when it doesn't go according to what I had envisioned and my over-the-top expectations. That's why I went with the Pillsbury rolls. I was realistic in what I could do. I knew that after a day of cooking and celebrating Our Lady of Guadalupe's feast the day before that I would have no energy or patience for more elaborate cooking/baking. And you know what? The kids and I were more relaxed and enjoyed it just as much if not more… Amazing, right!? ;)
