Breakfast conversation

I love listening in on the big kids' conversations! Gage is the negotiator and informer of the family. He is a really logical child and there is always a reason behind his behavior...the explanation of which, usually involved a lot of hand gestures. Yesterday, we started putting up the Christmas decorations so this morning's breakfast conversation was about Christmas.
The kids have a small nativity set that they like to play with. Reese had brought baby Jesus to the counter with her. Gage was telling Reese that Jesus was not a baby anymore. Reese argued back, "yes, Jesus is a baby...look right here." And then she held up the baby Jesus in the manger. Gage said, "well, Christmas is for Jesus' birthday and he is like a million years old." Reese said something else but Gage got the last line in: "I've had 5 Christmases so Jesus is at least 5."

Tell Gage that I've had 31 Christmases, so "Baby" Jesus is at least 31 years old.

I love their little minds and how they put things together.
