Cinnamon Roll Pie Crust

I made a cinnamon roll pie crust for Thanksgiving this year and it was a success! Though a few people thought it was a little too sweet. Maybe a little less sugar on the apples next time.

Just take a regular pie curst, coat the top with melted butter, and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
Roll the pie crust back up and cut them into small slices.
arrange the slices back into a circle and roll the dough out
Put crust in a pie tin
When transferring the crust to the tin it kind of fell apart so we had to role it out again
All you have to do is add the filling, top crust, and bake. In my case apple!

Call it Whatever You Want...

I called it couples extravaganza 2011 (even though everyone made fun of me for it.). My dear friends let us use their beach house in San Clemente for the night. It was so fun hanging with friends I don't get to see very often. We had a great time eating pizza, walking around downtown San Clemente, and eating yummy cakes.

Phil's Birthday Dinner

I am a week late, but we celebrated phil's birthday at Buca Di beppo with some really great people. We sat at the Pope table which has a lazy susan (greatest invention ever.. thanks for being so lazy susan..haha) . So we put the camera on top of the Pope, set the timer, and spun the lazy susan. The results: some really funny pictures.

Meatballs and pasta....








Happy Birthday Phil!

Quick Trip To NYC

Though my trip to New York was short (35 hours) I managed to take a few pictures. The flight back was great. Reese did really really well. When we got off the plane she looked at me and said, "well that was fun auntie Shea". I wouldn't describe it as fun, but not as bad as flights we have had in the past with little miss Reesie.

Zion National Park

I went to Zion a couple weeks back, but have been too busy to post about it. So, sorry about that! Zion was beautiful, everyone should go there at least once. If you love hiking and beautiful scenery you will love Zion. We hiked everyday, which I personally loved, but my body not so much. I had trouble walking for a few days after. When we were not hiking, we were eating food or playing mexican train. All in all it was a great to hang out with Phil and his family.
