A Birthday Cake

Bed time conversations are my favorite to have with Cooper.

A few weeks ago Cooper requested to wear his Santa pajamas to bed.  When we put them on we had quite the conversation.

Cooper: Where's Santa?

Me: At the North Pole. Making toys for you.

Cooper: He's making me a train?

Me: Maybe. Is that what you want for Christmas? Santa will bring you gifts on Christmas if you are a good boy. What would you like for Christmas?

Cooper: A train, a plane and smiley faces.

Me: Ok. Well, we will have to ask Santa. He will bring you gifts and leave them by the tree on Christmas Eve. 

Cooper: By my little Christmas tree?

Me: We will probably put up the big tree this year.

Cooper: Oh, that will be so big.

Me: Do you know why we celebrate Christmas?

Cooper: Why we celebrate Christmas?

Me: Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus.

Cooper: We gonna make him a birthday cake?

Me: Sure, we can make Jesus a birthday cake for Jesus this Christmas.

Cooper: Oh, that going to be so fun!

This time of year is so exciting with a little one. Cooper has provided a spark and excitement to the holidays that we had been lacking before. 

We will make a birthday cake for Jesus this year. And he's right: it's going to be so fun!

Merry Christmas! Happy celebrating with your family!
