There was a homemade red velvet cake to bake, which the 6yo renamed Blood Cake. Blech.

I think that Hank was blessing it OR doing the sign of cross OR making it a knight.

Mmm. Blood Cake batter.

Blechity blech.

We had an awesomely delicious family dinner with our friends, complete with Mater teeth.

I love Christmastime.

I hope that you were on the list that you wanted to be on.

And then I hope you got what was appropriate for the list you were on.

Wink wink.
