Watch out, Cinnabon!

A few weeks ago Alexa had seen the Cinnabon store and couldn't get the smell out of her nose. One Saturday morning she woke up and told me she wanted to make cinnamon rolls. I said that was fine but I was going for a run and she would need to get started on her own. When Tim and I got back she had the dough all made but was just mixing it with a wooden spoon. We got it in the bosch and everything was fine. She did tell us that she had to start over and that was the 2nd batch. We worked together from then on with her doing most of the work. She did a great job and her reaction when they were done was, "Boy, this takes a LONG time." (Did I mention we didn't eat breakfast until 11:30 that morning?) I don't know when she'll want to try this again but I'm always proud of her when she wants to learn and try something new. It was nice to leave for a meeting the other night and ask her to make some rolls for dinner (with a little help from her dad.

The finished product - good thing I went running that morning! But, if all 4 girls want to learn how to bake - I think I'm in trouble - I may need to start running twice a day!
