Our Feast of Christ the King

Due to lack of planning, what would have been done throughout the week was quickly put together yesterday and today. Whew! We did it and actually had fun too.

 The boys colored...

 cut and laminated...





 baked and decorated...



and, finally, set the table!

Our crown cupcakes. We searched and searched (while doing errands on Sat. evening) for "Hershey's Kissables" to make crown jewels for our cupcakes (as shown here). We found none, so our cupcakes look more like a crown of thorns, but the boys are happy with them.

Before mass, we used this post from O Night Divine for a jumping off point to talk about this special day. We also read the mass readings for the day from James' Magnifikid so that the boys would be more in tune to what was being read and being discussed during the homily (works for me too :)).

Happy Feast ( Solemnity) of Christ the King!!

Feast of Christ the King

Glitter is fun! :)

Using Seton's Art 1, the boys (James 6, Mark 9) colored and cut out this scene. They cut the pieces and glued them to a piece of cardstock. The Jesus figure is mounted on it's own piece of cardstock and cut out before being glued on. Glitter was added (in abundance :)) after the pieces were cut.
