In Honor of the Most Holy Rosary

As I mentioned earlier, today was the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary.

I had invited a couple families to meet us at the park, but the weather just wouldn't cooperate and so they all came over to our home instead! All I had to do was bake the cupcakes and brew some coffee. Marci brought the crafts, and Amy brought juice for the children. As soon as everyone arrived, we prayed the rosary together, and then Amy, Marci and I got to visit while the children colored pictures, made rosaries, played outside, and ate cupcakes. Here are a few pictures from our celebration.


Following the Rosary, we colored pictures of Our Lady of the Rosary:

Our Cupcake Rosary:

I took this photo last night to post over at Catholic Cuisine before packing it up to take to the park. When plans changed and everyone was headed over here, I decided to set it up on my hutch so we could use the table for crafts, etc.

This time I decided to use frosted mini-cupcakes for the cross.
Can you tell I am still in a very pink mood from last week? :)

Snacktime:

"These are great! I can fit the *whole* thing in my mouth!!"

The Group Photo: (It's missing these friends, who need to MOVE BACK!!!)

The poor boys are squinting in the sun, and I *really* need to get my boys some jeans!

And while typing this post, I listened to a great sermon:

The Most Holy Rosary: A Necessary Devotion

We kept it simple, but still had an absolutely lovely time!
