On Christmas Morning, Dave woke up earlier than Mr. K. He couldn't sleep cuz he was too excited to see lil' mister's reaction. Well, as you can tell, Santa picked the perfect gift for a lil cowboy who LOVES horses and cows... a BIG RED BARN. We couldn't have done it better Mr. C! Dave just had to get K a baseball bat. Thanks ESPN! I hate your theme song now! And I went with the tractor. You have to have something to carry all those animals around right? It was so much fun to see K get sooo excited. We also sang Happy Birthday to Jesus ( K's request) Dave and I had tried to explain that the reason we celebrate Christmas and give gifts is because it is Jesus's birthday so he decided we had to sing the traditional bday song. This may become a new family tradition. Is it a bit sacreligious tho? Please weigh in... Dave and I are stumped.

When I was little, we always had a prayer first, and then sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.
Sacreligious, probably. Punishable by outer-darkenss banishment? I think not. (At least, I HOPE not.)
We outgrew it. I don't think it's a big deal.
I actually read an article in the Friend where a family made the tradition of baking an all white birthday cake, sang, and gave gifts to Christ on Christmas eve (the gifts were service or spiritually oriented like reading scriptures daily). I think its a great idea!
