Gardner Village...

Have you ever tried to take pictures of 2 little boys, that really do NOT want their pictures taken? Madi is always good about having her picture taken. Here is what I got! Sorry there are so many...but I really wanted you to get the feel of how the morning was going. Owen hates to get his picture taken!

This is actually a good picture of Owen... This is probably the best picture I got...
Jacob was apparently in pain...
Still in pain, or is it his smile?...
Owen, with his ARE YOU KIDDING ME LOOK...
Seriously?...
Let's keep trying...
Getting Better?...
Not Yet!...
Still not yet!...

What's the point?...
I'm Out!...
I will try again tonight!... Now do you see what I am talking about?

Thanksgiving Turkey Rolls


This delightful roll can be used as a dinner table place card as well as be eaten.

2 Rhodes Texas™ Rolls or 2 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed but still cold
1 egg , beaten
sliced almonds, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, pepper corns

Flatten one roll for the body and place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Cut a narrow piece out of the remaining roll to be used as a head and neck. Roll it into a rope shape and place on one side of body to form a slight curve. Cut head piece on an angle and pull down against neck to form a wattle.

Flatten the rest of the roll into a half circle. Cut about ten long slits to form feathers. Place on body opposite head and neck. Brush with egg. Place peppercorn on head for eye and push a slivered almond into the head for a beak. Decorate body and tail with nuts as desired. Let rise 15-30 minutes. Bake at 350°F 15 minutes or until golden brown.
