We had a fantastic Happy Birthday Jesus day! Mary Lee is at such a fun age right now. She was anticipating Jesus' birthday. We had talked to her a lot about this day and the significance of it. She knew about the wiseman and the shepherds. She knew about Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus. If you ask her who lives in her heart, she sweetly replies, "Jesus." Oh sweet baby girl just melts my heart. She knows too that we will one day live with Jesus in Heaven. I wonder what her little mind thinks Heaven is like...I'm envisioning she sees visions of candy, toys, etc... But oh our Heaven is so much more. If she only knew...as a matter of fact if WE only knew. Descriptions of it cannot do it justice. If we only really knew, the things of this world would be trivial, meaningless. While I love living life on this earth right now, I cannot wait for the day I am singing and dancing with my Savior. I pray that my sweet baby girl will one day know that longing, the longing to spend eternity with her Maker, with her Savior, with her Jesus. Here are a few pictures from our Happy Birthday Jesus day!
The presents...
After all of the present fun, we baked our annual Happy Birthday Jesus cake...
The finished product...
We are so thankful that Daddy was able to be home Christmas morning. Unfortunately, that will not always be the case. We cherish our time together, especially during this first year of residency...it can be tough at times! We hope you made sweet memories with your family celebrating the birth of our Savior!
