It's been a busy day here! We started off our day with some friends over to join us in our Assumption day celebration. We talked about the great truths of the Holy Catholic Faith, made new friends and frosted some lavender/lemon sugar cookies in the shapes of flowers and the letters to make Mary's name.
After our company left I got moving in the kicthen and made peach chiffon pie as mentioned in the previous post. The ginger snap crust and peaches holding true to herbs/spices and fruits being on the menu during this feast day. For dinner we had pasta with pesto sauce using basil fresh from the garden. Served with Assumptia Salad (also mentioned on the previous Assumption post). I had ment to make bread as well but we had so much fun this morning with our new friends that it had skipped my mind. Wheat being another harvest item that was traditionally blessed at this time. Needless to say that my two little guys were anxiously awaiting their fun and festive dinner!

Between our morning visit and making dinner my youngest and I made a couple of Assumption Banner from the Seton Art 1 book (which I love and recommend not just to those doing first grade). We colored the picture of Mary, cut it out and glued it on a blue sheet of card stock. Then we added glitter to highlight the rays of light and white sand and glitter for the clouds beneath (the book says to use cotton balls but I couldn't find ours). Then we added some ribbon and hung them up! It was a fun day to help our little ones remember why this is a Holy Day of Obligation and of the religious importance.
