Christmas Pictures

Yesterday the Wasson's had their Christmas Pictures taken. Let's just say having pictures taken with a 1 year old is not the easiest thing in the world. By the time it was all over I was a complete and total mess. Ryan and I spent the majority of our time chasing Charley and putting her back in place. Before we knew it, she was up again and taking off. Pictures were not her thing yesterday. When we were finally finished, I have to admit they turned out better than I was expecting. I will post some of them when they arrive. For, now I have posted the one we had taken as a family. I'm not real sure what Ryan is doing in the picture. I think the photographer just snapped the picture when he wasn't expecting it. Oh, Well. They can't all be perfect.

Baking, Baking, Baking

OK,for those of you who know me, you know that I used to HATE to cook. Ryan and I almost always ate out for dinner. Then, we had a baby. Well, I had the baby, he just helped make it. After Charley arrived, our days of eating out vanished. Eating out was no simple task. As Charley has gotten older, it has become a little easier, but we would just prefer to eat at home. I soon learned that eating at home required me to actually cook. This did not mean boiling some water and adding Ramen noodles to the pot, although I have been known to do that.

I love preparing dinner for my family. I also love experimenting with new recipes. Recently I came upon the greatest recipe ever for Cinnamon Rolls. The first time I made them they made A LOT!! Ryan and I ate only a few and then I gave some to my In-Laws. I am not kidding, these are the BEST Cinnamon Rolls ever. Since the Holiday Season is upon us, I have decided to make several batches, including home-made cream cheese frosting. That's right. I don't cut any corners with these babies. They are so good, that I have decided to sell them in quantities of 6 or 12. Six of the Yummy Cinnamon Rolls will only cost you only $10.99 and twelve will cost you $15.99. The great thing about these is that they are prepared (from scratch)and then they can be frozen. You can thaw them out whenever you are ready and then bake them.

I have posted some pics of what they look like frozen and then baked. I have also included a picture of the "Cute" poem that comes with them. Of course it would be personalized with your name if you are wanting to send some as a gift. As you will see, the directions are printed on the back. Finally, I have included a picture of the entire package for you to see. I know all of you reading this think I am crazy, but I am telling you they are so good! I just have to share them with everyone! Please feel free to email if you are interested. If you live here in Springfield or the surrounding area I will deliver them to you or the recipient myself. All other orders will be shipped and arrive frozen! Please feel free to email me if you are interested!

First Blog Session

Hello Everyone. So, after reading different blogs over the past couple of years, I have decided to create my own. I hope this will provide a great way for me to keep in touch with everyone without having to send out an email. Your only responsibility is to check my blog every so often and since everyone is always "dying to know what is going on with The Wassons", I am providing a way for you to always know. I know you are excited!

Unfortunately, not much is going on right now. I hope to post some family pics soon so keep checking back. I hope that everyone had a Great Thanksgiving! I am personally glad that it is over. I am a sucker for food so Thanksgiving is not exactly a good holiday for me. The one thing I did enjoy was shopping on "Black Friday." I was out and about at 4:30 am. I actually did get some good deals. Despite witnessing a fight at Toys R Us (the police were actually called!), the day was a lot of fun.

The Wasson's are getting family pics tomorrow so I will post some as soon as they become available. Enjoy the blog and hopefully as the days go by, I will have more exciting things to post!
