Halloween Weekend

Hey Everyone! We had a fun and busy weekend. Hope everyone else did as well!

We did our traditional doughnuts and trick-o-treating. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't take pictures in all the excitement but I do have a few from our ward Halloween Party a few days earlier. Landon is eating a doughnut and Braden is waiting for the fishing pond.

Here is the 100 Spudnuts recipe in case anyone wants to make their own. We've made these for the last 12 years (our tradition) and shared them with neighbors & friends.

Spudnuts (It really makes 100)

Soften 4 tsp. dry yeast in 1 c. warm water & set aside.

3/4 c. shortening, 2 Tbsp. salt, 3 c. milk --- Bring these to a boil then add:
