kateri05 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 musical note shaped cupcakes! although, i think they aren't supposed to have all that sugar until they're a year old.... hmmm what to do, what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birgitta Noel Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Maybe get her one of those cool zxylophones with the colored bars. Right now she can just bang on it (or not even!), but later she can actually use it to make music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 good idea, kateri, but too much sugar. love the xylophone idea though! thanks, TLW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Matt's family always did a special dessert on name days. Doesn't have to be super fancy or super sugary.... just something special, a little out of the norm. I really like the xylophone idea too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 okay, how to explain this tradition to my hubby's family who is not Catholic? his sister is the only Christian, and she didn't want her kids coming to Cecelia's baptism.

[/quote] Poor deprived woman! Catholics have birthday cakes and nameday cakes, everyone else just get one The is an old book, "my nameday -come for dessert" , its a cookbook for all the saint days. She understands Cece is baptised with a saint name, correct? Just expalin we celebrate that day too. Baptism IS biblical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Something with roses and lilies for martyrdom and purity? If I remember correctly she was crowned with roses and lilies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Download the Jesse Tree symbols and hang them up one day at a time. That is totally biblical and something your niece/nephews could do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
