special helper


This is my very first nephew.

I now have 6 nephews and 2 nieces but this guy was my very first taste of being an aunt.

We're buddies.

He has a special love for rolls.

When we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family I asked him if he'd like to help me make the special Christmas morning rolls.

He was excited to do so and we had so much fun.




We have been making these treats for Christmas morning breakfast for many, many years.


Buy a couple packages of crescent rolls and lay the rolls out flat in pairs, pressing the seams together.



Mix together 8 oz. or so cream cheese (for two packages of rolls), some powdered sugar (sorry I don't have exact amounts) and some almond extract.


Put some of this mixture on top of the crescents.


Make sure it tastes good.




Top with a dollop of cherry pie filling.


Bake at 350 until golden. Enjoy!



What do you eat on Christmas morning?

yum!

In years past, if we are in Tennessee, we have a big breakfast - eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuts, gravy, etc. - all cooked by my cousin Randy. I don't know that we have a tradition really yet at my parent's house.
