This week a big package arrived on our front porch. Inside of it was Munchkin’s Christmas gift from her grandma and grandpa. Opening the big box revealed that her gift was a new drafting table (creation station). She was beyond excited as it’s something that she’s been wanting for quite some time. She immediately set to assembling it while we watched a Christmas movie. She was able to get it mostly assembled by herself with just a little help from Daddy. After getting it assembled, she needed to find a spot in her room, so she cleaned up and reorganized…

It’s funny how the same Christmas tree that has looked rather large in most of our homes looks a bit smaller at the cabin next to the large fireplace.

This year, she decided that she wanted to do it all by herself. Other than asking a question here or there, she was able to make the gluten free marble cupcakes and homemade peanut butter buttercream frosting completely by herself. They were delicious, and Daddy said that he was quite lucky because he now had two girls in his life that could make him yummy cupcakes. 😉 Needless to say, Munchkin was quite pleased…
