Grandma's cinnamon rolls

 Grandma Townsend came to stay with us for three months.  It has been so fun to have her here.  She is so cute and feisty and she is also so sweet and brings out the best in all of us (except maybe her ornery daughter.) Allison really wanted to learn how to make grandma's cinnamon rolls so yesterday they made some. 

 When the rolls started to rise my kids kept saying "it smells like grandma's house"  Grandma's house is a very special place to my kids.  For Jarin and Allison when someone says go to your happy place they always go to grandma's house.  We have such good, warm fuzzy memories of her house. 


 They turned out awesome. They tasted and smelled and looked just as they should.  Thank-you grandma for teaching her this.  Thanks for all the happy memories.  Thanks for all the help you have been for the last 3  months (and my entire life) and thanks for putting up with this Jensen family that is most often no where near perfect.  We will miss her and we hope she is brave enough to come back for another extended visit.
