Golden Santa Bread..yum, yum.


I saw this on Pinterest yesterday and thought it would be so much fun to make! The kids agreed to help and really, even with three kids swarming around it, Santa wasn't hard to make at all. The kids did most of the work and in fact we started it at 3:30 and were eating it for dinner. (Here's the recipe for the bread and here is the step by step picture instructions on how to put Santa together.)


I tried to teach Yip and Yap how to braid in hopes they would braid all of Santa's beard together. I was hoping to have a Captain Jack Sparrow look to the whole thing. 


They all had to take turns "painting". 


The boys were just sure that Yahoo wasn't doing it right and would mess it up. 
Can't little sisters do anything right? 














Hmmm, ours wasn't perfect but it was fun and tasted great! 

The bread was super easy to make and it was kind of a sweet bread, fabulous when warm and smothered in butter. Isn't everything? 

It was so easy and fun to make I'm trying to figure out how to change it up for other holidays. A big red bread heart, a giant painted Easter Egg,  leprachaun's pot of gold....hmmm, I'm going to have to look into some of these ideas!

  1. That is so cool. I might even have to try that sometime.

  2. Oh, I wish I would have come over sooner to snatch that bread recipe. My kids are older, they wouldn't want me to tell, but they would have loved that. Heather, any time you have something you think the ladies on RWR would enjoy, just post it to the wall. Have a wonderful new year.
