The Bumbaugh family has always had a tradition to make home made donuts for fastnaught day. This family tradition started with my mother in law and her family of 9 sisters and one brother. This is a yearly tradition in the Hykes family and now Margaret has continued to carry this one with her own family. Everyone that is available gets involved. The process is hard and long and daunting and the only ones that are there from the beginning to the end is Harry and Margaret. They make the dough and stay till the last one is fried and decorated. This year, Sharon and two of her friends came to help cut the donuts out. Then I got to help with the frying. Everyone jumped in at some point from glazing them to powdering them to icing them or covering them in chocolate and sprinkles. (or as it appeared, mouse turds. ;)
This is a fun tradition we all look forward to every year.
Isaac, Fawn, and Margaret glazing the donuts and letting them dry on the rods Harry made for them.
The absolute best part of making the donuts is EATING them!!!
Lori and Renee powdering and frying up the munchkins.
Oh yes, and there is always fun to be had in the moving chair.
My kids on a very crazy sugar high because I think they had each had at least 10 donuts a piece. I am not joking either.
