Candlemas Pictures






Here are a few pictures from our celebration of the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

Preparing the Dinner

 
 


G rinsed the fruit and cut the strawberries




M gathered ingredients and helped with the mixing.



Making the Fruit Kabobs. She washed and cut the melon balls all by herself.

Grandma Gigi and Little C having some (keeping baby out-from-under-foot-time) bonding time
so we can work!

I was Anna but no one ever takes pictures of me!!
Hope you enjoyed a better glimpse into a home seeking splendor on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday night in February.

    Blessings,

    Dear hubby, Please take a photo of your beautiful wife, especially if she is wearing coloured trash bags and posing as Anna. We want a glimpse of lovely Amy (no matter what her wardrobe preference/ imaginative flare)! ~alison

    Great pics...everyone had a part to play...I think the dad needs a bathrobe instead of a scarf!

    The food looks beautiful! Great job!

    So sorry Amy!, I thought these were coloured garbage bags you are donning, but now understand that you were all wearing scarves... never-the-less, your creativity shines bright, bright, bright! ~alison

    Alison those are playsilks but I knew what you meant! The kids love them and play with them everyday. G dances with them, C loves to just sit and play with them and they're the best for dress up. Red--little red riding hood; brown--Saint George; Green--a dragon. I like how much imagination they use, rather than needing to put on the exact dress of Cinderella in order to play princess.
    But I need a better way to store them b/c they are starting to wrinkle and look more like trash bags!!!
