Easy Bake Cookin'

Braedi is not one to easily spend money. She will sometimes get money as a present or for doing a special job and will put it in her wallet. Sometimes we will go to the store, but she can rarely find something that she wants to spend her money on. Recently she thought that she would like an Easy Bake Oven so she put it on her Christmas wish list. A few days later we got a Target ad in the mail featuring all the new toys on sale for the holidays and several coupons. In the ad was an Easy Bake Oven. I "convinced" Braedi that she could spend some of her money and get one now. She liked the idea, but wanted to think about it for a couple of days and talk to a friend who had one. After much thought and recounting of her money, she decided to buy one. We went to Target and she purchased it. But we forgot to buy a light bulb. I bought one the next day, but got the wrong kind. A week later, with the correct light bulb, Braedi was able to bake her first cake. It was soooo tiny, but she said it was delicious. She shared a piece with each of her brothers and sisters and can't wait to bake the cookies. She followed the directions so carefully and precisely, that she could probably bake a real cake in a real oven. This is her frosting her cake (with her fingers).
