Happy Birthday, Mary!

In celebration of Mary's birthday today, mom and I took the kiddos out for cupcakes.  We sang happy birthday, watched them crumble eat their cupcakes, and then watched them play on the merry go round.  All in all, a pretty good birthday party to say the least! 

I have so enjoyed teaching my kids about days like today.  Just yesterday, Paul pulled the stool up in front of the crucifix to 'look at Jesus' boo-boo's'.  During lent, we had talked about all of His boo boo's and why He has them.  It's so amazing to watch their little brains comprehend with such simplicity.  Hopefully, teaching them about Christ's sacrafice and Mary's 'Yes' while they are little will make being open to God's Will a 'norm' for them when they are older.
