Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve with some friends. They invited us over for a Ham dinner since our family couldn't be with us.

Christmas Day was wonderful. We always start with our tradition of "Birthday Cake". I have a great recipe that I put in the oven on time bake and we wake up with it ready to eat. It's really a sticky bun recipe that I put candles in and we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Christmas Morning Shortcut Sticky Buns

Make this on Christmas Eve just before you go to bed.

(I double this recipe)

20 frozen Rhodes dinner rolls
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix (dry from the package)
2 t. cinnamon
1/3 cup melted butter

Grease a bunt pan. Mix the sugar, pudding, and cinnamon together. Put the rolls in the pan and sprinkle with the mixture. Pour the melted butter on top. Put in in the oven on time bake to be ready when you think you'll get up in the morning!! 350 degrees for 25 minutes. If you double the recipe, then bake an extra 15 minutes.

Here's a few pictures from our present opening:
