Wrapping gifts gets easier and easier every year. Here are the kids wrapping their gifts to each other. We would send one child out of the room while the other three wrapped and rotated until we were all done. Then, after we sent them all to bed Phillip and I finished our part.
J is measuring very carfully.
As usual, A is all smiles.
R is really concentrating on what he is doing. He did a great job!
Look at that concentration on C's face!
Our Jesus cake is always chocolate to signify the sin we all carry. It is then frosted with white frosting to show how Christ covers over all our sins and makes us pure and therefore worthy to enter the kingdom of Heaven and see God. We have an angel on the cake to herald in the birth of Christ and a star that points the way to Him. The evergreen tree represents the everlasting life we are promised if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and the cross it the price our Lord had to pay to make this possible. The drops of red represent the blood that was shed as a sacrifice for our sins and the 12 candles are to show that His light shines 12 months of the year. We must remember to keep our focus on Christ always and not just at this Christmas time.
Each kiddo got a turn at decorating a part of the cake. Here R is doing his part.
