We celebrated Epiphany for the first time this year. In preparation for the feast, we have been reading The Legend of Old Befana and The Three Wise Kings, both by Tomie dePaola. One of my goals this school year is to celebrate the liturgical year more fully. We'll see how it goes.
My grand plan was to make a King Cake. We tried, but it was a flop. I think I killed the yeast. Oh, well. Mark saved the day by picking up a cake on the way home from work.
After dinner, we put the play silks on the kids kinda like the kings wore. Then, they had a treasure hunt to find their Epiphany gifts. Anna read the clues while Jonah audited the numbers to make sure they were going in the correct order. Eli just ran around while Sarah tried to make a break for the stairs.
After they found the gifts, we ate our cake and I read the bible story of the three wise men. It was a fun evening! Notice the stategically color coordinated dishes. Yep. That was unplanned.
I think we are done with special events until after we move. It's only 2 weeks away!
