Away in a Manger




Mom got Christian the Little People manger, one the kids could play with and hold and learn about the real reason for the season. While she was cleaning up, she put it on the table and set it up. This year, we were only focusing on the "baby". He can say baby now and we thought that was as far as we were going with the Christmas story. We figured next year we could talk about the other pieces. Christian also got a toy birthday cake and loved to blow out the candle and it got mixed in with the manager pieces. One night at dinner, we saw Christian giving the birthday cake to baby Jesus and having him blow out the candle like it was his birthday. Yes, sweet boy, it IS baby Jesus's birthday. I hope he always has a child like faith.
