I woke up early, brushed my teeth, looked outside, and dropped my jaw.  It was October, early October at that, and...it was snowing.  Dorothy, we are not in Texas anymore.

I knew this was coming, but I was thinking mid- to late-Novemberish.  Growing up in the Dallas area, you really only expect to see snow about two or three days out of the year at most, so I know this is going to be a change for us.  

The good news?  Emily’s family has a tradition where her grandma makes homemade doughnuts at the first snowfall every year.  Since we’re a long way from home, Emily called her grandmother to get the recipe and then made a LOT of doughnuts that night; probably 45 in all.  No wonder her grandmother always has the whole family over-it’s a BIG recipe!

I’m currently trying to change the tradition from doughnuts at the first snowfall to doughnuts at every snowfall.  That way we can finish the winter up 20% happier and 45 pounds heavier.

God bless doughnuts...
