Once again, our men’s group assembled on Monday night for a time food, fun, and overall tom-foolery. As we had done last year around the same time, we made a huge batch of cinnamon rolls to give away to people who might need them. Now, no one really “needs” a cinnamon roll – but you know what I mean.
If there’s a good way to show some people that you were thinking of them during the Christmas season, it’s butter, sugar, cinnamon, and some more butter. Nothing says you’re special quite like the famous Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls.
It was fun to make them and I think we’ll keep on churning out batches to hand off to unsuspecting people until the new year. Having a dozen guys take part in a baking project is hilarious enough in itself, but the love people feel from being given a gift when they don’t expect it is worth far more.
We even made up our own special cards to give away with them to write notes in:

When I got home I smelled like butter and cinnamon. I wanted to lick myself.

That card is priceless.
Are those PW’s cinnamon rolls? I made a batch of hers last week and after I devoured about 3 pans I threw my bathroom scale out the window. They are the best ever!
Dan looked as if he was not participated. He’s more of an observer of life isn’t he?
{reply}
Ok how did I miss that you posted PW link to the rolls. Must of read right over that.
I need a vacation.

I meant to say that Dan was not participating.
Can I just start all over?

I love it that a group of guys did this! Neat!
Merry Christmas!

That guy with wielding the rolling pin was SERIOUS about that job … wow.
What do I need to do to get on your “needs a pan of cinnamon rolls” list?

I would never expect to get those cinnamon rolls in nashvegas!

Hey you, I was participating. Who do you think photoshoped that card together
Grated, I didn’t touch the cinnamon rolls until they were in their completed form.

I had to laugh at the guy about 41-42 seconds in he looks pretty skeptical that those cinnamon rolls are going to come oout right.
PW has the mostest awesome recipe for cinnamon rolls!
I think you all rock for doing this.

I only saw Adam, Steve, Dan and New Guy. I can’t remember his name @ this exact moment I will blame it on pregnancy brain! Where was everyone else? Oh, I did see Ryan Doan chillin out in about half of the shots. He must be residential cool guy hanging out in the background.
