Happy Birthday Jesus!

On Christmas day, McKenna and I got to spend a couple of hours with Dave at work. The weather was super nice, so we enjoyed letting McK run around at the park that is behind his fire station. We fixed her a sandwich in their kitchen for lunch and then headed home for naps. Dave brought his new present (an electric smoker) to work and was smoking 3 whole chickens for the guys that night for dinner. Their crew invited another crew over for all the good eatin'. I was happy for Dave to try out his new goodies!

The rest of our December 25th was spent playing with new toys and watching McK's new Veggie Tale DVD. After our fancy dinner of chicken nuggets, we baked Jesus his birthday cake for dessert. I love cooking/baking with McKenna. It is our new favorite thing to do together. She loves it because she knows she can enjoy the yumminess as we're baking!! It's something I know we'll enjoy together for a long time comin'!


McKenna's favorite part of baking with Mommy is the "clean up" :)


McK "painted" the cake with "frosty" after it cooled off.


She also decided Jesus' cake should have "green dots" and all 24 candles on it!


'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus! We are thankful we have a reason to celebrate!
