Looking Forward to tomorrow…

Tomorrow we celebrate Epiphany, the day the wise men made it to Bethlehem and laid eyes on the baby Jesus. How incredible that must have been! To follow a star and find a new born king, Our Lord and Savior. January 3rd is also a very special day for us. It is the day Buck became a Christian. God is blessing us with a very special treat tomorrow. Our dear priest and friend Fr. Emmanuel is in town and we are planning on spending some time with him. We haven’t seen him in about a year and a half and through God’s providence we will see him tomorrow. Oh, I failed to mention that he baptized Buck! How cool is that? We made star cookies tonight to take and share tomorrow. Check out Catholic Cusinie for the easy sugar cookie recipe.

Buck and Honeybee wanted to play with the extra dough and ended up making these pretty king cookies cakes.624

I also have Buck’s baptism candle ready to go with us. I can’t wait for Father to light it and pray over him! What a special blessing that will be!

Last year we had fun making this cake. Also, here’s a post I did on celebrating baptism anniversaries (Christian birthdays), if you’d like to check it out. God Bless and Happy Epiphany!
