Happy birthday, dear Jesus!

And of course, the real meaning of Christmas: Love came down.

To make it tangible for the kids, we baked a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to Jesus!

OF COURSE we had to decorate it with sprinkles!

And/or eat the sprinkles...

Each child chose a candle to put in (Paige promptly stuck hers in upside-down):

Happy birthday, dear Jesus! Presents are great, but His presence is far superior.
