A Shower of Roses

We had so very much fun celebrating the feasts of St. Therese last week! I knew I wouldn't be able to get to everything I planned, but we sure had fun trying!

Here are the highlights of our celebration at home:


Anniversary Roses from Hubby
Homemade (French) Crepes and Mini Éclairs


Chocolate Roses


Excellent Audios and Videos



A hand painted Wee Wooden St. Therese


Beautiful Coloring Pages of St. Therese


Strawberry Rose Cupcakes


Delicious Rose Wine in our wedding champagne glasses!



Paper Roses placed near our St. Therese relic


Rosy Punch


Rose Petal Coconut Cake


My happy children... My "Shower of Roses!"

    Looks like so much fun! They all look so adorably happy in the last picture... but how can one not look happy when there is a cake in front of them?

    Nancy ~ It is a 1st Class Relic (a tiny piece of one of her bones) that was given to us by my brother-in-law! We are so blessed to have it in our possession, especially since she is a favorite saint in our home, and has been very instrumental in our lives.
