Aunt Laura read TONS of books when she got here so I could jump in the shower....
Mallory and Carter love playing with the Santa MiMi fought for at her "White Elephant" party at church...
Aunt Laura was excited to make Monkey Bread for the first time with the kiddos this Christmas....She and MiMi headed over to our house midmorning today...We haven't made this together since we were kids... (I think Mike and I made it with Casey and Brian when we were dating though and had a similar mishap!) We had a nice lunch together and then when it was time to begin Mallory decided that she wanted to read instead...She wouldn't even come back in the kitchen to see what we were up to....We thought she would love shaking the bags...Ohhhhh the "best laid plans..." Below is a pic of her after over 30 mins of indep reading time...see the "Mt. Bookmore" that she created?!?!
As it was cooking we realized that since the pan was 2 pieces the yummy butter/sugar icing was dripping through and causing the house to fill with smoke...So we opened the doors and we spent a little time bundled up under blankets as we enjoyed the brisk winter air...It wouldn't have been as fun if it had all gone according to plan...We laughed a lot....And look at the finished product! Good stuff! :)
