Happy Birthday Jesus!

Karis and I made a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Eve. I thought about letting Makena help us, but then I remembered how much raw batter Karis ate last year. I think it was best not to have her be a part of this tradition until next year.

This year, Karis was able to do most of the pouring and mixing.

I rolled out some fondant and she cut out some shapes so that we could decorate the cake. She poured, I mean put sprinkles on top of the cake too! It was a white cake with strawberry jam and chocolate buttercream.

We went to my sister's house for dinner on Christmas day. The kids enjoyed singing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Karis was so excited to finally get a "bite" of the cake we had been working on for two days!
