Amelia's Homecoming
On Friday, Oct. 12th Amelia High School had their Homecoming parade and football game. Alex and Karla were in the parade representing the Seniors and Jill and Emily were in the parade as cheerleaders. From the parade everyone went onto the big game. Amelia crushed their opponents! Jill and Emily were so much fun to watch as they cheered, jumped, did back handsprings and brought the crowd to their feet. Jill is on the Varsity cheer squad, and Emily is on the JV team, so it was a great chance to see them both cheer together. You did a great job! 
Cinnamon Rolls!
On Tuesday, October 2nd, we met at Sister Beck's home to learn how to make her fabulous cinnamon rolls. The girls did a fantastic job of listening to directions and then helping on the various steps. We had a great turnout and the cinnamon rolls turned out delicious!
Here's the Recipe:
1 1/4 c. boiling water
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. margarine
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
2 pkgs yeast
4 1/2 c. flour
Filling:
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 T. white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cube butter
Boil the water. Add salt, sugar and margarine in bowl. Pour water over sugar mixture to melt. Beat cold eggs and add to mixture (Be sure not to "cook the eggs" by adding them directly to the hot boiling mixture. Temper them by adding small amounts of the sugar mixture to the eggs, then you can pour the eggs into the sugar mix) Sprinkle yeast over mixture until wet and let stand for 10 minutes (Make sure you don't kill the yeast! The water should be lukewarm not boiling hot) Add flour (may be more or less than the 4 1/2 c) Let dough raise until doubled in size (takes about 1 hour).
Punch the dough down. Put on flour board and roll into rectangle. Raise 1 1/2 hour. Sister Beck has learned that spraying a generous amount of the "I can't believe its not butter spray" works really well instead of trying to spread butter on the dough.
Next, add the sugar and cinnamon. Make sure all parts of the dough rectangle are covered. You can add raisins, raspberries, nuts, etc. to the filling if desired. Roll up the dough in a tight "hot dog" then slice the rolls about 1-2 inches thick. Place in a well sprayed dish (put the seams of the rolls towards the middle of the pan) Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. If you want, you can brush the rolls with butter when they come out of the oven to make them a little softer. Frost with icing and they are ready for delivery! Enjoy!

Skit Night
I apologize that we're out of chronological order! These are the pictures from our skit night a couple of weeks ago. The YW and the YM combined for our activity. They had about 20 minutes to use the props that were provided to put together a skit. Moses & the Red Sea, Joseph & the Coat of Many Colors, Daniel in the Lions Den, and David & Goliath were the story lines each group was assigned. Everyone did a FANTASTIC job!
