This year was so fun to continue some of the traditions that we started last year. It is very important to Cole and I that we teach Connor the true meaning of Christmas and that it is not just a time to open presents. One of the ways that we are doing this is by baking a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake each year with him. This a great way for us to emphasis the importance of the day on his level. What a precious thing to celebrate the ultimate gift from God that was given to us so long ago.
Mixing the ingredients
We made the cupcakes before church, and waited until we got home to decorate them.
We stopped to take one picture before we ate and this was it. :)
Connor enjoyed throwing the sprinkles on the cupcakes!
Admiring his finished product!

We also carried on the tradition to go back to mom's house after church for chili. We were more than thrilled when we found out that Cole's parents and grandmother were going to be able to join us. It was so fun to have everyone there!
After dinner there was plenty of dessert!
Connor loved playing with Grandmommy. He also really liked his new turtle ornament and book that she brought him back from her recent trip to Hawaii.
Right before we headed home, Connor opened up his present from Cole and I.
More pictures from Christmas morning coming in a few days!
