Roasting Almonds

At Christmas time my family has a tradition of roasting almonds. They are SOOOO good!!! We love to give them away as gifts to people at the holidays. Some of my favorite memories are sitting around the table with my aunts and uncles and slipping the skins off the almonds. We have all perfected the aim of shooting the almonds at one another as they slip out of the skins. We try not to waste too many of the almonds on that but it is a blast and has been known to send us into stitches laughing! This year we tired out Emma and my uncle Devon and they were sound asleep for some cute pictures. :-)
