Ya. Santa did it. He brought the girls a CUPCAKE MAKER. Ya, the one's that were advertised day and night on television, in every single add and in every single store. It even made the top ten toys of the season. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. One attempt at the cupcake maker and both girls said, "Uh...Mom? These do NOT look like the picture!" Now, that's an understatement. Not to mention that they pretty much taste like cardboard. Good thing Walmart has agreed to take returns from Santa. :) But he wasn't the only one that got suckered in. I ended up buying Hallee a "as seen on tv" nail polish mechanism that got the same response. "uh, Mom? These nails do not look like the pictures on the box!" Again, a complete understatement.
However, Santa did redeem himself on the music systems for the girls. Hallee got an I-pod, Hope got a stereo for her room and Caymbree got a kid-tough portable boom box. They were a huge hit and the girls have not stopped listening to them.
The extended family also scored big time with the gift of a Wii and all the accessories. We will be busy for the next few months playing Guitar Hero, Mario Cart, High School Musical Dance Edition and more. So much fun!!!
