Heart Melting Event Of The Day!

I was reading Alex this fun little story from his coloring book, and got to the second to last page which read, "You are sweeter than any present ever placed beneath a tree, you may be small, but beat them al...l, you mean the world to me!" Then the last page says, "Draw a picture of the person that "means the world to you"...
Me: Alex, who is your favorite person?
Alex: (pause) God!
Me: I was gonna say the same thing! But what does God look like?
Alex: Um, I don't know?
Me: Well, we could draw baby Jesus?
Alex: Oh Yeah! Jesus is God!
Alex: Mom, we need to draw a big cross too, 'cause Jesus died on the cross.
Me: Yes, you're right, when Jesus grew up he died on the cross.
Alex: (once we had a big empty cross) Now we need a big Jesus.
Me: OK
Alex: (once we had a big Jesus- with a beard per Alex's request) But now we need Jesus on the cross.
Me: Well, since Jesus rose from the dead, how 'bout we leave the cross empty?
Alex: But I want Jesus on the cross first:)...
