The day before her birthday, we set up the Wii game system as that was AA's requested present. We found refurbished ones at GameStop; so the deal was much better than we thought. We almost didn't buy it but when we saw the used prices; it was to be her wish!! After testing it, we left it all ready to go but slightly hid it behind our TV. If she didn't notice it, we were going to wait until morning, but of course, eagle eye AA spotted it! Her big smiles!
She loves the golf game!
I spent the day baking a chocolate sheet cake and triple lemon cupcakes. Then I thought about baking something fun, so tried Kool-Aid "Berry" flavor cupcakes. I used the cupcake papers that do not need a cupcake pan. My Mom or sister bought them for me to try. It worked great, except I didn't put enough batter in the cups. They were called "petite" so didn't want to over fill them. With the Kool-Aid flavored frosting, they are strong, tart, but good! (photos are without the frosting - that will be done in the morning).

AA had homework last night, to write four lines. She wrote this story:
