For Christmas this year, I made another little storybook titled, “The Cupcake Caper,” for my nieces and nephew featuring a story and game they made up (with some help). I think it turned out so cute! The story is about three bakers who travel the world giving away cupcakes. Then their plane gets kidnapped! To get their plane back they have to bake the world’s largest cupcake. Will they be able to do it? Spoiler: Of course they will. 🙂
The kids loved opening it up (it was wrapped up in multiple boxes, ha!) and seeing a story featuring themselves. It was so fun being able to read it to them. The two year old can tell you who everyone is in the book. So adorable!

It was so fun to read it with them on Christmas and watch them excitedly look at their paper characters build a bigger and bigger cupcake to find the “Miss Megan.” The oldest niece was so excited to see the last HUGE cupcake! hahaha!
To create a copy of the book, I took photos of the pages and uploaded them to Shutterfly and created an 8″×8” photobook.
Do you have a fun, special game or tradition in your family? How have you documented and recorded it?
