This year we are behid the times with our celebration of this feast day and sadly I really was only able to mange the food side of the celebraion at that.
All my ideas for creating a hand painted t-shirt or wall hanging are simply that still ideas and not creations.
As we had our guests arrive this week we have been busy creating a welcoming environment for them to come to, you know cleaning and tidying. So we were very behind and then Anna-Lisa wnated to share this particular feast day with us so here are a few pictures from the wonderful food.
We actually put this together in fairly quick time. I had many helpers and it was very sweet to see the younger children remember
things from past years now and want to help prepare the menu items.
A plate full of all the goodies to be eaten along with the heavenly punch.

Alice's blog for full detailsI love the fact that Moran and Myffwyn when finishing cutting up the strawberries and stars both had to take a photo of them, too cute.
So there you have it our very brief tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
