We celebrated the Epiphany today.
When I say we celebrated, I mean we lit a candle for Baby Jesus, cooked a big dinner, cleaned like maniacs, and gave Grace a few presents.
Oh, and we talked about the Three Kings and Baby Jesus with Grace.
Officially, the Epiphany is this Wednesday, but it was easier for us to celebrate the holiday on a Sunday, when both sides of our family could come to visit.
We tried a new dish today. That is so unwise, really, to serve a brand new dish when the whole family is coming over, but it’s what we did. It turned out to be a wonderful and delicious addition to our holiday table. You’ll love it, too.
