Feast of the Queenship of Mary

Today we invited over a crew of friends to help us celebrate the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. I have been so inspired by Jessica and her friends "Summer with the Saints", but I just had to rip off some of the great ideas!

We made crowns on honor of Mary being our Queen. This little craft went over way better with the girls than with the boys!!
The boys were much more into making manly bracelets with the colored pipe clearners. Go figure.
The kids all made miniature crowns (and necklaces) out of pipe cleaners and crowned Our Lady of the Backyard. It was a pretty wet day, so the Coronation was a quick one!
After a feast of Mac and Cheese, we each had a yummy slice of crown cake.
The kids had a wonderful time playing, eating, and crafting with their friends. They learned about and celebrated this wonderful feast with such a joyful spirit!
