Our family loves celebrating the feast days. Joseph especially loves feasts that celebrate our Blessed Mother. He seems to have a special love for Her.
This year was our second year to make a grotto for Mary. The boys LOVE this project!
Daddy helped us cut out the structure using a diaper box. Then we cut a strip and used tape to form the arched roof.
After wrapping in aluminum foil, we used sharpies to create a heavenly glow behind our statue. The boys decorated around the outside with rose stickers.
We surrounded our grotto with a "cloud" made of batting.
Our finished grotto:
This year we also made a Heavenly Clouds mobile. We made clouds using white felt that we cut into a cloud shape and then filled with batting. My felt glue didn't work so well, so I ended up just stitching around the edges. We cut out a picture of the Blessed Mother and then used string to attach all of the pieces to a wooden embroidery hoop.
For our feast day supper we made Porcupine Meatballs, mashed potatoes, green beans,
Assumpta Salad, and
Heavenly Parfaits.
Our family attended Mass together this evening before enjoy our parfaits. What a fantastic feast day for Our Lady!
In Christo Rege et Maria Regina,
