No hangover! Score!


Merry Christmas eve, gentlefolk! Here, have some pictures:



JP's mom made us rainbow cookies and they are EXQUISITE:




Making sangria at my mom and dad's house...




Baking at home (pumpkin cheesecake and monkey bread baked in mason jars):





The windows from last week in downtown Austin...first up, the wrapping paper dress. Awesome!




Dogs with ZZ Top beards. Weird but hilarious just the same.




I love the paper as wafting smoke...

...now I need to go find a recipe for monkey bread :)

Personally, I love the ZZ Top beards.

Here is the recipe I used!

The bearded dogs were definitely the funniest! Lol...

I didn't have commercial biscuit dough and my normal biscuit recipe isn't quite the same, so I went for a yeast version from scratch. I also don't have mason jars or a bundt pan, so we'll see how loaf pans go. They're cinnamon/sugar'd up and rising as I type, should be ready in an hour or two!

Awesome! How did they turn out?!

Tasty! Though I probably added too much flour during the kneading process because the sections didn't stick together as well as I would have liked after baking.

I baked my second batch a little too long and they were not as gooey as the first. Still tasted good, but you know...

Yummy though, right?! ; )

Cinnamon, sugar, butter, and biscuit dough baked in a mason jar. Delish! Thank you, Anne! Merry Christmas - I hope things are getting better...

I love everything this post chooses to be. FACT.

Those mason jars are crazy-adorbs; you are the best domestic goddess, sweets.

I hope you had a phenom birthday, holiday, and a happy 2012! <333
