The best brownies ever.

Last Sunday I was itching for a good brownie. I did some recipie searching and discovered the best brownie recipie I have ever tried.

You should try it too! 

The Best Brownies

2 sticks of butter

2 1/4 cups of sugar
4 large eggs 
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups of cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

 

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chocolate chips 

Grease a 9x13 in. pan. and preheat the oven to 350º.
Mix together the butter and sugar in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave, stirring about every 30 seconds, until the mixture is bubbly and smooth (you can also do it on the stove top if you want). Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Mix together the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour and add to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for about 28 minutes.

I sang this song (click on the link) for a Luncheon at the MTC for all full-time employees, as well as at our ward Christmas dinner. I thought I would share it with you. It's one of my favorite Christmas songs. :)
The recording cuts off before the last few notes/words, but I didn't want to record again, so...yeah.

Merry Christmas!

Hunter talk

Hunter was asked to speak in church yesterday. He did a great job! I was a little worried because you never know what's going to come out of his mouth. His topic was Jesus Christ and how to put Christ in Christmas.

Fancy schmancy

Chris had a big formal Christmas Party for work.  So we put on our fanciest attire got a baby sitter and headed out. It was a fun evening and we busted out some killer dance moves on the dance floor. Which was impressive considering the height of my heels. :)

It's Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas !

It's really beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our house. The home teachers put up Christmas lights for us outside on Saturday...

And we took care of the inside. :)

Visitors Welcome!!

Ho Ho Ho

Ayla met Santa for the first time yesterday. As you can see, she was less than thrilled about it.

P.S. This blog seems like it's becoming the DeLong Family blog. I think it's time to hear from the rest of you! Especially Hunter. And Jenny. And Jill. SLACKERS!
