Don't Forget to Make the Cinnamon Rolls!

 The other day I was walking through my house, and I started seeing all of these pictures hanging up everywhere...

 If you notice on each picture there is a similar circular swirly pattern on all of them...

 There was one hanging in the kitchen, one on the garage door, one on the silverware drawer, one on the wall by the front door, and one on the fridge!

So, what did I do?? 

I found Kesslyn and asked her about these beautiful pictures that she had drawn...

 And do you know what she said???

"Mommy, these are cinnamon rolls, and you need to make them! Don't forget to make them!"

I was DYING!!!

This sweet little girl had been asking me for days to make cinnamon rolls, and with my kitchen all packed up, I had nothing to make them with! BUT, with her constant reminders and cute little drawings to remind me to "make the cinnamon rolls" I just HAD to make it happen!

 So, sure enough, on the morning we were closing on our new home and Clint was home to help me, I found a container of orange rolls in the fridge, and a small metal pie pan, and Clint had those rolls baked just in time for a yummy breakfast before school! :)

 This little girl was SO happy and she LOVED the rolls!!! (Even though they were orange rolls and not just cinnamon rolls...) All of the kids were happy for that matter! Those rolls were gone in about 5 minutes flat!

And now, I can't wait for the next time that I will start seeing these little swirly drawings start to appear! Or maybe better yet, I should just make the rolls without needing the reminder! When a simple pleasure like this makes a little girl so happy, then it's worth the tiny bit of effort and planning to make that happen.

I am grateful my children are so sweet and loving and patient with their busy and sometimes forgetful momma...and I'm so grateful that simple pleasures like these can so easily brighten someone's day!

Thank you Kesslyn for the sweet reminders of not only cinnamon rolls, but of my most important role in taking good and loving care of my family!!!
