Preparing For Andrew's Arrival

Ready For Andrew...
I asked Andrew what he would like to eat and what foods I should cook and have in the pantry.
He had two requests...
1) NO RICE. He does not care if he ever eats or sees rice again.
2) Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls (but do they have to be whole wheat?)
Friday Morning, we head to Orlando to visit with Grandpa and Grandma Hogie for Easter. As I write, Grandma's Bakery is up and working. The Cinnamon Rolls will be waiting!!!! Grandpa says she may slip some whole wheat in the batch to clean him out and begin the healing process.
While we are in Orlando, we will also meet Alison's mom, brother, and little sister.
We are holding our breath that Alison will still want to be in our family after:
1) Meeting Andrew!!!!
2) Her mom meeting US!!!!
Exciting times ahead!!!
Last night for Family Home Evening, we got Andrew's Room ready for him.
Recently, I have used the closet for storing Disney Princess' and Polly Pockets and a few other things the girls have out grown or don't use.We cleared out his closet and he is back in business. His room is up and ready for him, just as he left it--only cleaner!
Hooray!!!!!!

I'm with Andrew. When we first moved into the ward your folks had us over for dinner. Your mom made cinnamon rolls for dessert and Oh My! Can you give out the recipe or is it one of those family secrets?
