“Every year my sweet little penguins are doing fun things and creating memories. This year they decided to try their hand at baking. So here we have baking buddies. I love the little gumdrops, and the little candy canes, and all the little candies on the rooftop, and just how that frosting sparkles. It’s just perfect. One of my favorite parts about it is this little guy right here because he is taking it very seriously, and wearing his little chef hat. This ornament here reminds me of the holidays and getting my boys into the kitchen. I love to do that. I love to include them to decorate cookies, and even try their hand at making gingerbread houses. So this year, get your loved ones into the kitchen and bake up some holiday memories.”
