What -10 Looks like from our Bedroom Window






We are experiencing some extra cold weather and since we live on Main St. Rexburg we have a great view of the some of the city's holiday lights. Here are some pictures from our frosted bedroom window.

Christmas Weekend






Here are just a couple of pictures from our Christmas weekend. We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends, and Grandma Davis even made her rounds just a couple weeks after he knee replacement. We have had the most fun with our new boxing gloves and while we have had some good matches, thankfully no serious injuries.

Jenna braided Emrie's hair for church and it turned into a temporary perm.

We hope everyone enjoys the rest of this holiday season.

Jenna Concert





Jenna is singing in Vocal Union, BYU-Idaho's jazz choir. They did not allow any photos or video of the concert, so we had to settle for a couple of pictures after the show. The concert was great, Jenna had a solo, and Santa Claus showed up at the end much to the delight of Isaac and Emrie.

Making Biscuits


A Sunday tradition in the Davis home is making buttermilk biscuits. Isaac and Emrie helped today and the biscuits turned out just great. Steve has a goal of perfecting a biscuit recipe, the key to flaky biscuits, use real butter and instead of cutting the butter into the dry mix, grate frozen butter cubes using a cheese grater. Also, do not over knead the dough.

Here is our recipe:

2 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1 T sugar
1 tsp cream of tarter
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

After mixing dry mix, grate in tow cubes of frozen butter

Lightly mix then add 3/4 cup of buttermilk

Knead dough 8-10 times

Roll out dough and cut into squares or circles.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown!
