Blessing Cup Meal

Yesterday Chicky Magoo 1 had her Blessing Cup Meal in preparation for 1st Communion. It was a really nice event that they put on for the kids. We got to spend time with her and count our blessings as we had the meal. They gave each child a box and during the meal a bell would ring. When the bell rang we were to count a blessing in our family and put the stone in the box. That was a neat thing to do so that we were all more aware of the good things in our family!

Then the kids got to use the blessing cup that they had painted at school and share with us the bread and wine in preparation for next month. The kids were NOT fans of the wine, and Father even said "If your kids are the ones finishing this cup off instead of the parents, you might have a problem!" Just wanted to share a few pictures of this special time!!
