Happy Birthday Jesus Cake

The kids and I started a new tradition this year.  My best friend Carly does this and we are copying her great idea.  On Christmas we made a birthday for Jesus.  Here are the pictures of Taylor and Hailey decorating.  We made a two layer cake and I think we did a great job.

It did have Happy Birthday on it until Taylor covered it.  I think it turned out great and both the kids had a great time.

Christmas

The kids had a great time at Christmas.  They both had a blast opening presents.  We also had a great time with family.

 

This is Hailey's new expression...her I'm not going to smile so I am going to frown at you face.

We got Hailey a bitty baby from the American Girl store.  She loves it and it now goes everywhere with her now.

Hailey loves her jewelry.

Taylor and Hailey's big presents.  Taylor got a tool bench and Hailey got a kitchen set.

Taylor's Preschool Christmas program

I gave in and gave Hailey is pacifier.  I thought it would be better if she didn't scream during the program.

Taylor was so cute.  He didn't sing or participate in any of the hand motions with the song...stage fright I guess.  We really enjoyed seeing him up on "stage."

Hailey did really well with decorating.  I thought she'd get bored after one or two cookies but she helped with all of them.

I tried to get pictures of the kids in their Christmas outfits by our tree.  Getting both of them to look at the same and smile has proven to be more difficult.  I had to have them put their hands together because they kept pushing on each other.  I think they both are so adorable.

Attitude

I love the back of Hailey's dress.
