Christmas was surprisingly good. Don't know how that happened.
My family behaved. They liked my calendars I made for them. My cousins are the cutest little girls in the world. My youngest cousin still thinks my name is Jimmy, but at least she thinks I'm fun. We decorated cupcakes, though decorate is a nice word for smearing on some icing and pouring a jar of sprinkles on them. Then we made a gingerbread christmas tree that looked like it had seen better days. And they helped me make the christmas trifle.
My 8 year old cousin is starting to question the existence of Santa Clause. She kept asking me if I believed in him. I told her a story of how I once saw Santa on our porch. Luckily my mom remembers when I thought I saw Santa and could back up my story to her.
The three year old is still in Santa heaven. One of my cousin's children was behaving badly and she told me to call Santa and ask if he could still open his presents. It was too cute.
I made a cake for my grandmother's birthday and it was one of the tastiest things I've ever had. I'm going to play with the recipe and make it even better. I'm thinking making them into stuffed cupcakes would be a fantastic idea.
