What do you get....

when you mix piles of clean snow and the coldest day of the year? Why snow ice cream of course!! Emily and I put our culinary skills to work this evening making this delectable dessert.

The software includes:
A large bowl of CLEAN snow
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk (preferably whole)
1/2-1 t. vanilla

Combine sugar, vanilla and milk:

Mix in enough fluffy WHITE snow until it is the consistancy of ice cream:

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Mommy to Emily): "So does yellow snow make lemon ice cream?"
(Emily to Mommy): "THAT'S DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hope you all have had a blessed day!

Happy New Year!!!


Just wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed 2010. Wow, that sounds weird...2010. Do you say "twenty-ten" or two thousand ten? I think twenty-ten sounds very space odessyish.

We spent New Year's Eve at the Harr's house down in Flora. It is always great seeing them. We also stopped by to see Emily's first babysitters, Kari and Evan. Kari only has about 18 days until she will be having a little one of her own-can't wait to meet him or her.

Emily was able to make it until midnight and then was able to sleep until 9:30 the next morning thanks to us sleeping in the basement with NO windows. It was awesome!

After we got home, we ate a light supper and had a relaxing end to the first day of the year. Hope you all enjoyed your day as well.

Until next time...
