Christmas Manger

Since Christmas is just around the corner my treat tonight is an edible manger with baby Jesus.  The manger is made from chocolate wafers with pretzel sticks as the frame.  I used white chocolate for the glue.  You can't see the straw, but I use shredded wheat for straw.  Baby Jesus' blanket is fruit roll-up, his head  a gumdrop and his body is bite size butterfingers.  If I were artistic I would put a face on baby Jesus, but I am not artistic so he has a plain face.  I did not have enough white gum drops for the face so I also used yellow and orange gumdrops for the face.  Jesus probably did  not have the white skin that we have so I was kinda glad I had to use other colors.
Merry Christmas everyone!

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Today is the eve of The Feast of the Immaculate Conception and since we have mass tonight there is no CCD. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary celebrates that from the time that Mary was conceived in her mother, Anna's womb, she has been free from Original sin.

Last week we had The Jesse Tree Celebration and I am posting a group picture. The students did an excellent job, I am so proud of them!
