The Good Shepherd’s Garden Party :: Week Six

by | Jun 6, 2011 | Good Shepherd's Garden Party | 3 comments

This evening we had our sixth Good Shepherd’s Garden Party! I can hardly believe that the Easter Season has gone by so quickly, and next week we will be celebrating Pentecost!

I am going to try and put this post together quickly, since we rented a family movie to watch followed by another movie for just Hubby and I.  I love movie nights!! 
I think that this is the first week this year that I actually stuck with the menu for the Garden Party, without making any modifications!  However, I did add a main dish to go along with all the goodies.    Here are a few pictures from this week’s Garden Party:  
~ The City Gates ~

Pretzel and Cheese Construction Kits to build Gates

~ The Temple ~

Shirley Temples to drink
~ The Thrones ~
Edible Thrones

I happened to have some Rolos, so I used them for the legs on our thrones this year.  Super easy!
~ The Bride and The Groom ~

Bride and Groom Strawberries
~ The Crown ~ 

Crown Cake

Fresh Orange Cake with Orange Glaze (recipes found in The Cake Mix Doctor) baked in my Pampered Chef Silicone Crown Cake Pan

~ Hallelujah! ~

“Hallelujah!”  I did make something healthy to go along with this Garden Party!

I’ve been wanting to make Charlotte’s Jicama Chicken, ever since she posted a link to the recipe earlier this week.   It was so worth the effort!   At her suggestion I did add carrots to the recipe, and I also used yellow bell pepper instead of red, since that was what I had in the fridge.   Everyone loved it! 

Please head over to Catholic Cuisine to see the pictures from everyone else’s Good Shepherd’s Garden Parties, or to share pictures from you own.

I hope you enjoy this last week of the Easter season!

    I'm so glad you liked the Jicama Chicken. My kids don't like Chinese food at all but they love Jicama Chicken! The rolo's for the legs were pure genius!

    Yum! I'm going to have to try that Jicama Chicken. I don't think I've ever had jicama before. But all of the ingredients sound really good.

    Love the rolos for the legs! I was just giving a test run try on assembling a throne and it stayed up for a minute before falling over. I'm so glad I caught your post. Now I can just use the Mini Reese's cups I just picked up from the store. I bought them for my husband, but he can do with a few less I think. 😉

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
