Baby Jesus


By Mimi

Ever since my mardi gras party Ayda has been slightly obsessed with the tiny plastic Jesus that was hidden in the King Cake. The tradition is -- whoever gets the piece of cake with the baby Jesus in it has good luck for the year to come. Uncle Jeffy won it this year.

I asked Ayda what she wanted for her birthday this year and she said she wanted Jesus. I don't think she was talking about going to church....

Last night we had cake for dessert -- and Ayda was looking for the baby Jesus in her piece. I had to tell her that baby Jesus only hides in special KING cakes -- not in birthday cakes. Maybe I'll sneak one in her piece of birthday cake this year just for kicks.
