General Conference is a great weekend for our family. Spending Sunday at home with the kids can get a little...overwhelming. A few Conferences ago I started a tradition to keep them from fighting: I asked them to help me make donuts. They love the entire process, but glazing the donuts is by far the favorite.
They like to line up to take turns to dip their fingers into the delicious, vanilla glaze.
Ryker discovered the joys of fishing out the donuts with a skewer. He became pretty good at pulling them out without frying his hands as well.
But even fryer duty takes a back seat to glazing patrol.
Somehow, despite the kids' help, we made a perfect donut.
It survived being pulled off of the parchment paper, and it made it into the oil while still perfectly round.
Ryker couldn't believe the joy that he could feel from holding a donut so perfect, so round, and so delicious.
DeA didn't help, but she did stand behind us and laugh every time I had to speak enthusiastically at one of the kids. She was a great help.
The glazing station didn't seem as great once the kids learned about taste tester duty. That immediately became the job to have.
Glazed fingers are the best!
Ryker is trying to remind himself that he needs to stick to licking and not to bite into his delicious fingers.
"So yummy!!"
