I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! I've spent the past few days enjoying the fact that I had absolutely nothing to do for the first time in about a month or more, and so I'm just now getting around to posting pictures from the cupcake order I had, as well as the treats that my cousins and I made to leave for Santa.
About a year ago, I made two cakes for a lady who works with my mom and has twin boys, and both of them wanted to have their own birthday cakes, of course. For Christmas Eve, she wanted to get her sons some cupcakes to wake up with on Christmas morning... but they didn't last that long! Mom said when she delivered them, they each had one! She wanted six Santa hat cupcakes and six Cookie Monster cupcakes. I decided to make the cookies be gingerbread men heads instead of chocolate chip, just to add a bit of festivity :)
On Christmas Eve, the Brascho family always attends the Candle Lighting service at church, then comes back to our house to have chili, potato soup, and grilled cheese. I have a lot of cousins, so this year I had the idea of getting all of the kids together in one place to decorate cookies and cupcakes to leave for Santa so that the adults could relax a little bit.
My cousin Blake turned out to be quite the little artist. He even made his own Cookie Monster cupcake!
All in all, this was a great Christmas. I can't wait for next year when we get to do it all over again :)
