Our Special Morning

Since Pawpaw, Grandma & Uncle Ben had to leave on the 21st, we had decided to go ahead and have a morning of gift opening so that they could be here. It was very fun and we were so happy to have such a special treat--the best gift of all was their visit!

The sisterly choke hold




Pawpaw found a fancy new hat for Uncle Ben. Grandma thought it was going to frighten him! Little did she know...

Everyone liked it! Why didn't I get one? Hmmm...

Hey there, cowboy

Mario Kart -- does anyone know if there is a 12-Step Program for this?

New tradition=doughnuts for breakfast!
Recipe:
1. Refrigerated biscuits (I get the smaller ones...Grands are okay, but they make BIG doughnuts)
2. Heat oil in a pan (or better yet, FRY DADDY)
3. Make a nice cooling rack, as Uncle Ben did, above right :)
4. Have your goodies ready...cinnamon & sugar was our favorite. We also had: pink sugar, various Christmas decorations, icing, etc.
5. Find something small enough to cut the middle of the biscuit out & don't forget to cook the doughnut holes!
6. Go for it. It's easy. I was going to make some incredibly difficult rolls for breakfast & that didn't happen. Turns out, we were just as happy with our new treat!


Bloggy love,


p.s. I'm off the doughnuts for now...enjoy them for me! :)

The donuts are evil! You should not tell people about them. What did we use to make the hole?? :)
