School Friend Birthday Party

We celebrated Bennett's 6th birthday at the Children's Museum!

 Ready for a birthday party!

 We arrived a little early for some play time

No surprise here, she made rainbow ice cream! 

The museum is much more fun with friends!

New Bike

A belated birthday gift...she loves it!

Happy Easter!

Oooh underwear, ha ha! 

 Egg hunt

 Ham dinner!

And for dessert, homemade apple pie and freshly made vanilla ice cream drizzled with our own maple syrup.  It doesn't get any more homemade than this!  The best way to eat and so delicious!

Homemade Ice Cream

Charlotte received an ice maker for her birthday and today we made two batches of ice cream.

We mixed our ice cream ingredients and let it chill for several hours.  Then we processed it in the ice cream maker.  I didn't realize how much ice was needed so we used snow and it worked perfectly! 

Vanilla and dark chocolate peanut butter...oh my!!  I don't know how I'll ever eat store bought again!!

Easter Photos

While Charlotte was at school, I took some pictures of my little devil princess.

Oh my!!  LOVE!!

 Being silly!

And Charlotte...

 Getting ready to skip

Didn't get to adjust the setting in time; a little too bright 

 The faces

Beautiful girl!

Dyeing Easter Eggs

All set up and ready

 Adding food coloring

Excited about her colored eggs 

 Two of them are spotted because we added oil and then re-dipped in another color to see what would happen.
