"Happy Birthday Jesus" Party at Jen's House

Jen's "Happy Birthday Jesus" party is an annual tradition. We celebrate the birth of Jesus; the moment when God broke into human history. We also celebrate toasted coconut cake so sweet it makes your heart do a somersault.

The highlight of the evening is Jesus's birthday cake. Baked inside are tiny bits of Scripture wrapped inside of tin foil. Often you can find more than one foil package in a single piece of cake. This year, Jen chose calming verses from the Psalms.
