Bread

Ben said the bread was some of the best bread he has eaten, which is a huge complement because he LOVES bread. He took some over to Brandon's to share and show off my bread making skills(just joking). It is so easy , delicious and beautiful. Not to toot my horn, but my bread was more beautiful than the bread in Bluebird's blog post. Wish I could take credit for making great bread, but this recipe is soooo simple/ easy/ fool proof.

I did not have instant or rapid rising yeast. I used the yeast I had in my pantry and warmed the water to very, very warm/ hot,  mixed my yeast in the water and then mixed in dry ingredients. I let the bread rise for 24 hours because of how our schedule work out. Her recipe calls for 16 hours, she let her bread rise for 20. All times seem to work great.

Enjoy!

December Fun!

 Headed to Madeline's dress rehearsal for her school Christmas program.
Yes, she wanted to wear mommy's scarf and lipstick....




The morning after attending a cookie swap,  Graham could not resist the cookies when he woke up and I gave it (Hey, it's Christmas season)
 Madeline loves puzzles and worked this by herself.

Such a big girl, we dropped her off for  her school dress rehearsal. We are not use to dropping her  somewhere without one of us staying with her. While waiting, we went to dinner. Graham missed his sister and did not enjoy being the only child.
