Friday Highfive

It's a little bit of a flashback friday highfive today.  Here are a few snaps from December that I wanted to catch up with.

EB really enjoyed her first trip to the Charleston Children's Museum!  Now that she is running around everywhere I really felt like we could take advantage of the different "exhibits".  We are thinking of getting a membership!  We have really love having one at the aquarium.

I enjoyed a Christmas Cookie Swap at a new friend's house.  I shared the recipe for my 4 ingredient almond joy cookies here.

We went to Halls Chophouse for the first time to celebrate K's Birthday.  They sent us home with a delicious piece of cake.  The service was impeccable and I really enjoyed my dish.  I had the bison with mushroom risotto.

Our white elephant gift at Carrie and AJ's Annual Tacky Sweater party was a real hit!

And last, today is my father-in-law's birthday.  Getting her to pose with his card is not so easy now that this lady thinks everything is a game!!

Snow Daze

I am listening to the trickle of the icicles melting outside the window right now.  What a crazy few days it's been in Charleston!!  We have thoroughly enjoyed our Snow Days as a family and I want to share some of the photos.  This feels like a once in a lifetime experience, I don't much remember the last significant snowfall in '89, and it was a treasure to share it with our happy girl, in our happy home.  Alfie loved it, too!

I know we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

Delish Dinner Rolls

I know, I know, it's the New Year and we're all thinking about cutting back...And if you're like me that means things like sweets, wine, cheese, and...bread.

Well, bookmark this for your Easter because these rolls are delicious and worth the little extra effort for a holiday meal.  

You need to purchase the Rhodes White Dinner Roll dough, which I could only find at Target.

You just follow the instructions on the bag...Cover the dough to rise for a few hours/Brush with butter before and during baking.

The only thing I did different was add herbs to the butter!  On Thanksgiving I used a bunch of leftover herbs from our turkey brine, most noteable rosemary and thyme.

Taking a photo of the finished product would be a bit better, huh?

Oh well, they come out flaky and golden and almost like a pull-apart loaf.

Yum!
