This year we started a new tradition at our house. Becky's dad read our boys the story of Christmas from the Bible on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas we had planned to have a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake for Christmas dinner dessert. A few weeks ago, my oldest son Alex asked Becky if we could include Melinda's name on the cake and celebrate her also since she was up in Heaven with Jesus now. We couldn't say no to that. Alex wanted a "white" cake, so we found one with chocolate frosting and "1000" mini chocolate chips all over the edge and sprinkled on top. As we ate it, it reminded us about how much Melinda loved chocolate. Aaron, my youngest, wanted to get some cake up to Melinda and Jesus, but we told that they would have to share it with us in spirit. I think we may do this again next year. It gave us a happy moment that we needed at this time of year. ~Jason
