Cranberry Streusel Muffins

First, I have to share that they are here. My parents and two of my little sisters moved out here at the beginning of last week. They are getting settled into their new home. When Chris and I decided to go into the ministry over 7 years ago, I never thought that I would live close to my family again, and here I am not moving back home to California, but they are all moving out here to Indiana. They are just 10 minutes away! Now we just need to get my sister Sarah and her husband and new baby out here.

This last weekend we had my little
sister Amy and Katie over for a sleep over. My girls and sisters had a wonderful time together. For breakfast we made Cranberry Streusel Muffins. We all had fun making them together! They were delicious!

I found this recipe in All You Magazine. After making them, I have made a few slight tweaks to the recipe. I hope you enjoy these muffins!
