We had our second annual making of homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch, pioneer women style on Friday. It is a sweet holiday tradition we enjoyed with sweet friends. These freeze great so we ate on one batch all weekend and I'm saving my other batch when I have family visiting just before Christmas.
It was a very empowering day, cooking something from scratch with my own hands and doing a craft that turned out really great, I won't post the craft on here just yet because some of you that read this will get one for Christmas. I am about 60/40 on crafting, 60% of the time they don't turn out like the grand plan I have in my head but I keep going back for the 40% of the time when I am pleased with the results (same on cooking new recipes too!). It was a 40% kinda day Friday.
The girls in their matching winter Jammies: We couldn't get a good picture of them to save our life, they would be doing something totally cute, like sharing a chair together or giving each other a hug and as soon as one of us grabbed a camera one of them would be done with that. Ava helped a little with stirring this year but we are thinking next year will be lots of fun when they can be more involved in "helping".
Trying to build our holiday traditions around experiences more than material things. So its fun to think of ways to do this.
