I can not adequately express the excitement my children and I felt as we drove in the pouring rain yesterday to meet Alice of Cottage Blessings and her family. We were not disappointed!!! Alice and her children put on a wonderfully meaningful Guadalupe Tea which helped us to visualize through food the events of Juan Diego’s life and his encounters with the Lady of Guadalupe.
As Alice mentioned in her blog, we also created St. Lucy ornaments in honor of St. Lucy’s Day. (We are in the process of migrating to a new computer – so I will post my pictures as soon as I am able – you can see photos in Alice’s photo album). These ornaments were inspired by Dawn’s post at O Night Divine.
It was great to meet the woman who has so deeply inspired me with her creativity and vision for her family over these last few months (I am new to the blogging world). Her children are just as lovely as you would imagine from her blog. AND they were all very forgiving of my cranky and inquisitive 2 year old. God is good!!!
Your two year old is a sweetheart, and it was a blessing to have all of you here! I love how quickly the kids bonded–your children are lovely.
