FEAST OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL- OCT. 2

We're off- plans for our first ever family feast day celebration! In the "keep it super simple" mode, we are having Grandma and Grandpa (who are also our next door neighbors) over to morning tea. On the menu- Angel bread from our cookbook and decaf tea.

The kids have been hard at work on making a few decorations:

This little prayer card is simply a printed picture of a guardian angel glued to a piece of scrap paper. For decorations, my 5yo glued some sequin type things left over from another craft project- glue and glitter would do. And, on the back, he glued the "prayer to my guardian angel' that I had typed and printed for him.


Below, the colored in and glittered angel prayer cards- (also with the guardian angel prayer glued to the back) and standing angels came from the Seton Press art book.

Here are some instructions for a standing angel- a bit Christmasy looking, but with a few design changes, it will be perfect:

The explanations are presented in three categories- young families, practiced families, and experienced families. I love this site!!

We are making the 'Angel bread' from our cookbook, but angel food cake (bought or made) would work just as well- cut in to bite sized pieces and make a 'fondue dip' by heating up some hot fudge sauce!
