The Feast of Epiphany

Epiphany is such a wonderful season to help one transition from Christmas into January and remaining winter months. I was looking forward to it this year but since we’ve moved, I wasn’t sure if it would mean our traditional amount of feasting with friends.

And because it fell on a Wednesday this year I knew if we did feast, it wouldn’t be on the 6th. I originally thought I’d just put together a big meal to celebrate this festival as a family. After all, we are in such a small house right now and it would be short notice to invite any other families.

But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to try to do what we’ve enjoyed in previous years. For me it’s a lot easier to make a big deal out of Epiphany than Christmas. It’s a less busy time of year, not hectic but still of the spirit of Christmas. I have so much fun with this Feast.

Drum roll please!

On the Twelfth day of Christmas….I don’t remember what we did. School began again so it was up and out the door for the girls. Lily excited as anything and Clara dragging her feet.

Christmas – Day Eleven

Oh my poor blog. Ok, days Eleven and Twelve of Christmas! On the Eleventh day of Christmas we went to the indoor ice rink for one last hurrah before school started back up.

The girls were slow at first but after some time out there they really started to get brave and find their balance. I think Phil was most impressed with himself though.

He caught some video footage of the girls and I’ll add that soon once Phil can do it because I have no idea how that happens anymore with a new blog and now having to use our phones for such.
