In an attempt to start teaching our little ones the real reason for Christmas, my friends and I threw a birthday party for Jesus!

Betsy made the very yummy cake...


Madelyn was not shy and took the job of trying to blow out the candles. Some others helped...pretty sure they were all just spitting on the cake! This did not keep any of the moms from having a piece :)

Chowin' down...

Jordan, Carter, and Charlotte...aren't they cute in their reindeer outfits? Thanks Jordan for having the party at your house!
Me and Madelyn...

At the end, we passed out candy canes and read this to the kids. I wanted to share in case any of you have not seen this before (I had never seen it before...thanks Katie for bringing)
Look at the Candy Cane, what do you see?
Stripes that are RED, like the blood shed for me!
White is for my Savior, who is sinless and pure!
"J" is for Jesus, my Lord, that's for sure!
Turn it around and a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd was born for ME!
Hi Lana! I'm just catching up on blogs from over the holidays, and I love this one! Such a sweet idea. Thanks for sharing it...I'm excited to get to start traditions like this with Addison when she is old enough.
