I honor of Pope Benedict XVI's birthday today, we had a delicious meal of pork and sauerkraut. We learned alot about some of the Pope's favorite things on this very informative poster that I have printed out.
We also learned that one of the Pope's favorite things is chocolate. Because of this, we made a chocolate cake for dessert. On it I put candles to form the number 16.(I didn't have 81 candles.
We have been having a wonderful time watching the coverage of the Pope's visit on EWTN.
The kids were especially excited to see the Pope-mobile on tv today.
We are also very lucky to have 5 family members getting ready to see the Holy Father in person. Amy and Matt are going to Dunwoodie on Friday and Saturday for a retreat and a prayer service with the Pope on Saturday. Pat Sr., Becky and Danny are boarding a bus early Sunday morning to go to the Papal mass at Yankee stadium on Sunday afternoon.
These are wonderful days of prayer for our whole country!
Yum! I'm thinking an adaptation of a Black Forest Cake just might appear on the table tonight...
