Nothing but the best...

For Christmas this year we decided to make Jesus a birthday cake. Yes...great in theory very difficult to execute. The cake itself was a breeze...but the questions it brought up were a little tricky.

Amy: So today is Jesus' REAL birthday?

Tyler: How old is He?

Amy: I thought He was eeeeternal? (my little theologian)

Tyler: Does He celebrate His birthday?

And of course, Grampie had to chime into the discussion and add

Grampie: How many candles are you going to put on the cake?

Thanks for that one! :-)

So after much deep discussion (Jason never dismisses these questions but always returns them with long theological talks! which I'm sure the children retain all of!) we made our cake.

But - remember, this cake was for Jesus! Nothing but the best for Him!! Jason spent an HOUR decorating this cake (NOT an exaggeration!) He became a professional cake decorator!

*Disclaimer from Jason: I did not have the proper tools - had to work with what I was given*

The cake was so beautiful I didn't even want to eat it - but...I did...eventually!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Thank you for coming down to this world and rescuing us from our filth and redeeming us with Your blood! We celebrate YOU! We love YOU!
