Jesus' Birthday

Jacob has been hearing the story of Jesus' birth for weeks now, both at home and at church. He loves to tell the story and act it out as well! After we opened gifts from Santa at home, we headed to Mim and Poppa's house to enjoy the rest of the day. Mim had purchased a special book about the nativity story that included magnets of Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the other key players. As she told the story, she had the boys help her put the characters on the pages and "act" it out. Afterward, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and the boys got to blow out the candles on Jesus' birthday cake, a tradition that dates back to when I was a little girl!
