Uncle

Over the holidays C-bao spent some time with her various cousins, aunts and uncles in addition to her grandparents and great-grandmum.

Here she is working with her cousins to gang-tackle and try and extract an "Uncle" from her beloved Uncle Calvin.

Baking

Last night, C-bao caught wind of the fact that Aunt Chris (Xiao Ah-yi) was considering baking some gingerbread cookies. C-bao had recently experienced a Gingerbread Workshop at her sister's school, and it was nothing but sugary goodness. Naturally, she wanted in.

C-bao: "Let me make the dough, Aunt Chris."
Aunt Chris: "Not today, C-bao. You have to go to bed."
C-bao: "Make me a deal!"
Aunt Chris: "A deal? What type of deal?"
C-bao: "Today, we make it. Tomorrow, we bake it. And then, we eat it!"

That little bit of cleverness almost got C-bao out of her bedtime. However, and luckily for the C-folks, Aunt Chris remained firm.

Tonight, the making, baking and eating all happened at once. Above, C-bao sees the gingerbread cookie-making up close, along with her sister and cousins. Below, enjoying her fresh gingerbread cookies - pre-dinner, of course.
