Our first meeting of the new year fell on the traditional celebration of the Feast of the Epiphany. It was a nice chance to get back into the swing of things with the girls in a fun and festive way. So...we took a break from the study of our nine virtues and decided to be king queen for the day as we explored this wonderful feast of our church.
Well...every king needs a crown, so that was a good place to start.
The girls had fun painting the jewels of little plastic tiaras.
As we awaited everyone to join our circle after finishing our painting, we all sang "The Twelve Days of Christmas" (Miss Piggy style, of course). We had a great discussion about the hidden meaning of each verse.
Then it was on to the game!
Each Bud had to help fill the treasure chest with the gold (chocolate coins) for Baby Jesus (but it had to be done with salad tongs!) I don't know if it was more fun to play or watch!
As we wound down (and ate our chocolate coins), many of the girls tried on their dry tiaras. I think we have several girls that would make very good queens, don't you?
But we know, no matter what we have on the agenda, no meeting is complete until Mrs. Adams has tied it all together with her treats! Well, this week was no exception. She made some beautiful and, of course, delicious, crown cookies. And even some of those ended up on the girls' heads before they ended up in their bellies!
Many blessings on this Feast of the Epiphany!
May we also bring Him our gifts...
Keep planting seeds...
