Spiced Apple Cider Doughnuts

I thought it would be fun to make doughnuts all together. Turns out, making doughnuts while listening to Christmas music, plus a little "ha-bee do you", is in fact pretty fun. Bergen helped mix the dough, and was helping to cut them out...until he noticed the candle. Then for a little while it was all happy birthday business.
Blow it out!
Hooray! I did it! More candle? Yes!
These apple cider doughnuts were each rolled with love in sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Very yummy!..and a little messy :)
We gobbled up every doughnut and every doughnut hole. It's very rare that we actually eat every last morsel of baked good, but these were even better the day after and even several days after that. (I'm sorry to say most things don't end up getting finished before they are rock hard or moldy and the last bit gets thrown away. Unless we make half batches...or maybe I should be giving more away to someone having a bad day!)
I really want to try and make this holiday season feel like a real holiday season. This career path can be tricky which makes it easy to just skip things because daddy is away. This was a very good start to a season of holiday fun together.
