Ascension Sunday!

Happy Ascension Sunday!  Today we celebrate Jesus ascending into heaven, and what a beautiful weekend to celebrate!  Spring and maybe summer has arrived in full force, the sunshine and warm weather sure are a nice break from the rain!   

If you've been following along you know that we celebrate Easter season in our house with a dessert every Sunday - Ascension Sunday provides a very special treat - Cotton Candy!!  Cotton candy reminds us of the clouds in our first reading today

"When he had said this, as they were looking on,
he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight."  (Acts 1:9)  

What other treats can you use to remind you of clouds?  Marshmallows, popcorn, jello with cool whip - the possibilities are endless!   If you have an Ascension Sunday tradition I would love to hear about it! 

Check out the video below for a Lego version of today's readings:
