She got a Nintendo DS and a game from us and her grandparents. Her friend got her this shirt that suits her perfectly. She is pretty bossy. She also got a gift card for more games and manicure things.
Madison wanted a penguin cake. I hate making black icing but she wouldn't be persuaded to change her mind. I ran into some problems with the cake pan (I used the stand up bear) so I had to layer and sculpt the cake. I wanted an easy cake but it took all day. I think it turned out ok.
I bought myself an early Christmas present last week. I've been wanting a KitchenAid for a while and found a good deal. It made making the cake easier. Not to mention I can finally make bread. I have tried everything including a bread machine. This is my first loaf that has EVER turned out. I am too proud. I wanted one of the new colors they have, but John wanted more power. I can't wait for Christmas baking to begin.
I'm making John take me out tonight. I think we'd never have a date if I didn't plan and enforce. I love having a child who can babysit. Maybe we'll get some early Christmas shopping done. First we have to limit our list to a reasonable amount. That what happens after having no money for forever. When you start making money, you have so many things you want. I think we need a new camera. My zoom is getting hard to work and the lens thingy won't open half the time. As you can tell I am very knowledgeable about cameras. All I know is I'm tired of one's that break after a year.

I am impress with Madison's cake! Way to go!!
love the pic of penguin with the candles on its head!
As for the camara. sometimes techologhy is just a pain. I think you guys have the same one as us. I have ran into the same problem with the lens too. I just flick it open with my finger and it works like a charm. It also means that the batteries are slowly dieing. We use the sliver Energizer batteries for ours.
I am also impressed with your bread. I can't do that!
As for money, know what you mean. The last time,we had spare money (insert laughing, here) We bought a dishwasher.
