Last night the kids helped me decorate a birthday cake for Jesus and after singing Him Happy Birthday, followed by a few favorite Christmas carols, we enjoyed cake and ice cream.
Apparently, it is an unwritten rule in our house that when you eat Jesus' birthday cake, you don't need to use silverware.
We had a Birthday Cake for Jesus this year, too! I made a red velvet cake and used it to kind of explain salvation...red for our sin, white frosting for Christ's taking away our sin and making us "white as snow" and green for spiritual growth and eternal life. The girls love this tradition!!
ReplyDeleteNo silverware - its like a rule!
ReplyDeleteOoo! I used a peach Upside down cake because it was easy to make but I love the red velvet Idea. I think we will try it next year.
ReplyDeleteWe also had a birthday party for Jesus.... we had carrot cake with cream cheese frosting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! Love the "no silverware needed" rule. Jesus birth is certainly a great reason to celebrate!
