Today we had some friends over to help us celebrate May Day and kick of Mary's month in style. My friend Karen brought over some crafts for the children which were a hit.
Then each of the children put a flower into a vase for Mary and we sang "Immaculate Mary".
Lunch was next.
 |
| Star sandwiches were a hit...they especially liked eating the sandwiches that had the star missing from the middle! |
 |
| Blueberry muffins |
 |
| Tortilla chips which loosely resemble a crown. |
 |
| Apples for Mary being the new Eve who brought the Savior into the world. |
 |
| Blue and white mint chocolates. |
 |
| Blue and white frosted cupcakes for dessert. |
Then they all went outside for some "recess".
What a wonderful way to start the month. I hope that you all had a great May Day!
My little man is calling for me...hope to post more later. Joseph celebrated his First Holy Communion over the weekend. It was fabulous!
God Bless!
Heather :-)
Lovely! We didn't do much specifically for May Day. We enjoyed a trip to the kids Schola Cantorum and played outside. And then everyone came down with a resperatory illness! The weather finally gets nice and we're coughing again! Your party looks like it was so much fun. I think I'll start planning one on paper and have one as soon as we're better. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I will have to think of this for next year. Instead the kids mentioned a May Pole which I quickly told them was a pagan custom and how May Day comes from English pagan roots! Instead of thinking of Our Lady I quickly went to the naysaying. Sheesh! I'm happy to hear you are more positive than me.:) Good job, Mama!
ReplyDeleteGreat May Day, Heather! So lovely to bring Mary into May Day as well. Great snack ideas, too!
