The day snuck up on me this year, but I still managed to make waffles for breakfast (apparently a Swedish tradition) and got "red carnations" on the table (made of foam and pipe cleaners by mama in the dark at six in the morning). After dinner we enjoyed an ice cream cake to honor the feast day (no special symbolism in an ice cream cake--simply that I didn't have time to bake the traditional seed cake!). Daddy made it to a 9:00 a.m. Mass while I was at my La Leche League meeting and I had the privilege of attending our parish's first Missa Cantata (sung Mass in the old rite) at 7:00 p.m. without the children.
