If you look on-line you can find a good recipe. My daughter has a really good one if I remember to ask for it.

Loved the pictures Becky...you look so happy!! When I read the part about "hair across her butt" I burst out laughing and Ricky wanted to know what was so funny....LOLOL

Here is the Garlic Cheese Biscuit recipe I use:

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar)
1/4 cup melted oleo
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix baking mix, milk, and cheese until soft dough forms, beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or tunil golden brown. Mix oleo and garlic powder and brush over warm biscuits before removing them from cookie sheet. Servie warm. Makes 10-12 biscuits

Wow! I haven't been on in days! Your Christmases sound wonderful, all of you, as was mine. The only one who didn't enjoy herself was your MIL Becky. She ought to tweeze that hair right off! That is a great expression.

I really enjoyed this Christmas! It's the first one I have enjoyed in years. I was such a Grinch. Well...always look to the future! Christmas Eve, I flew out of here because the little ones were in a Christmas pageant at church at 4:30. (I thought it was at night). It was just so nice being with Jessie, Steve, and the kids. I love their priest. He is very down to earth, and I enjoyed the sermon so much. The pageant was adorable. Kassidy did not stop talking to her friend the whole time, and Brandon took his role as a shepherd very seriously. I went home after church and went back on Christmas early. The kids had already opened their gifts from Santa, and they each showed me everything they got. They loved my presents, although Brandson is beginning to question whether Santa really leaves gifts for them at my house. Jessie and Steve made a delicious dinner, and I brought the pretzel candies from Gayle's recipe. I also gave them out to some other people who loved them! Thanks Gayle!

I was sick the day after Christmas, so I just slept all day. I was really dizzy and had a headache. I think it was a sinus infection, which is for the most part, gone. The kids slept over 2 days ago, and we had a lot of fun. Poor Brandon couldn't fall asleep until 2 AM, so I just relaxed the next day because I stayed up with him.

Mackenzie has become a teenager in the past week! I bought her a Smashbox makeup pallet for Christmas, which she brought with her. She woke up, took a shower, blew her hair out, and then put on her makeup! This is not the Mackenzie I know! It was just so cute.

Now, it's New Year's Eve! I am staying home. I haven't made any close friends yet, so I don't have any plans. I am also so grateful that I have all of you as friends. My family also knows about you. I care so much about you all and I love you so much! If I made a couple of friends up here as great as you are, I would be delighted!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!!!

Judy....I wish you were here with me. Ricky is in his room playing some video game and Rick is laying on the doing....what else....snoring so loud the windows are shaking....grrrrr!!

We had a lovely supper of king crab legs, crabmeat patties, scallops, cocktail shrimp, lobster tail and garlic cheese biscuits. I didn't make the biscuits this time...Rick found some by Bisquick already mixed up...all I had to do was add a half cup of water. They were really good....oh and I had two Bud Lights. Yummmmm So good.
