Cooper

You’re baking Christmas stuff and didn’t invite me?

Liesel

Jules and I were going to make them, but she got called in to work. #ERNurseLife

Cooper

Liesel Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies Fischer. Invite me over now.

Liesel

Why?

Cooper

Have you not looked through my instagram? Christmas is my middle name! And I’m a WIZARD at baking. A North Pole Elven Wizard.

Elvish?

Elverino?

Liesel

Elverino for sure.

Isn’t all that baking your mom?

Cooper

She taught me everything she knows. I’m not kidding. Send me your address.

Liesel

Cooper Christmas Kellogg is standing in my kitchen, wearing jeans and a gray sweatshirt that says “Wanted: The Wet Bandits,” along with mugshots of Harry and Marv fromHome Alone.

My mom got my brothers and me that same sweatshirt two Christmases ago.
