Happy Birthday Jesus Cake

Better late than never! Today, on New Year's Day, we made our Happy Birthday Jesus cake!

Funfeti cake, green frosting, sprinkles, red letters & candy canes! I can't think of anything more Christmasy & Birthdayish!

We considered making it earlier, but we just had too many other desserts from Christmas: pies, cookies, brownies, and more!

Today, we are out of sweets and the cake will be perfect after our roast "beast" dinner! (Can you tell we've been watching the original Grinch movie!)

Happy Birthday Jesus. You are the reason for the season!

Winter Crafts - Glitter/Marshmallow Snowflakes

Glitter & marshmallow snowflakes! What could be more fun & yummy on a cold, muddy winter day!

It was a quick project, but something to pass the time while our Happy Birthday Jesus cakes cooled. (Yes, I realize it's New Year's Day and we're just getting around to making our cake - better late than never and a yummy treat regardless of when it's made.)

I think the boys had more fun eating the marshmallows than making the snowflakes, but that's what it's all about right now. Two weeks home during Christmas break and no outside play makes for a long, tiresome holiday! No worries, we've hunkered down, stocked up on crafts & have lots of good food to eat. All blessings indeed!
