In one, Betsy and her mother bake a dozen cupcakes for a New Year's party and decorate each with a letter to spell: HAPPY NEW YEAR. Unaware of the message, or that the cupcakes are for a party, Betsy's father and a younger sibling eat two of the cupcakes. The mistake is discovered just as the guests are about to arrive. The solution: Betsy rearranges the remaining cupcakes to spell: HAPPY WE ARE.<br /><br />And may we all have many reasons to be happy in the new year!David LaRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146141298496287697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575001999763750294.post-51354960568700621952011-12-23T03:21:57.054-08:002011-12-23T03:21:57.054-08:00happy holidays to all the leon-s out there, may th...happy holidays to all the leon-s out there, may they never be a-lone on noel.brattcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382428477056833533noreply@blogger.com
