13th Ward Autumn Blast

Our ward had it's annual 13th ward Autumn Blast. It was a really fun night of food, visiting, and entertainment. We had chili, corn bread, and desserts. The primary kids were in charge of making desserts. We don't have very many kids in primary, and I wondered how many desserts there would actually be. Camille, McCray and Reed all wanted to make something of their own. It was a little overwhelming at first, but it ended up being really fun. Reed wanted to make brownies. That was pretty easy, and with some frosting and sprinkles, turned out pretty cute.  

 McCray wanted to make cookies. We made cake mix cookies from a fun-fetti cake mix. They are VERY easy, and they are good. At least McCray and I like them. So we frosted them, put some cute sprinkles on them too, and there you go. McCray's cookies. ( They got a little smooshed in transit trying to get out the door. Oh well, the were still eaten with no problems)  

 Camille decided to be a little more difficult, and wanted to make cinnamon rolls. I have been using a new bread recipe that is incredibly easy. So with very little assistance, Camille made some mini cinnamon rolls. I had taught her a few weeks ago, and I was very impressed, because she really did make them mostly on her own. I figure if I teach her how to do it now, I can sit back in the future, and let her do the baking! :)

   

 I am glad that the ward had the kids do this. I really had a good time teaching each of the kids how to make their dessert, and just spending a little time alone with each of them. They are getting so big so fast, I keep thinking that I had better enjoy all of these little moments with them, because before I know it, I won't be so cool , and they will have other things to do that are more fun than cooking with Mom. For now though, I am going to enjoy it.
