Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Kolaches!

It's been one full year since we won our kolache booklets.  Such wonderful memories of getting to know the staff, enjoying the breakfast varieties, and saving me time (and money) on coffee every morning.  


But the expiration date was here and we had no days left.  So sad.  Dean, the owner, decided to photo bomb our last card punch.  


Just take a look at these used booklets.  Coffee stains, masking tape, they were just barely holding together.  Dean said they were the most-used cards of all 25 given out last year.


We showed our appreciation by bringing an over-sized hand-made card, helium balloons, and gifts to the staff in celebration of their one-year anniversary.


Apparently, this picture got posted on the local news that night, but we couldn't find it.


But guess what?  The bakery decided to do the challenge again!!  The first 20 people in line the next morning were to receive another 12-month booklet.  So what do the McConnells do?  Yep, stand in line starting at 2am.


Eric and Ashlyn were #7 & 8!!  It was a cold 26℉ outside, but so worth it!  Another year of kolaches for us!
