We've had a busy week, as you can tell since I haven't posted for a few days. We spent last weekend in Park City celebrating the "30, 55, 80" birthday party. We had a ton of fun hanging out with family. Then we joined our youngest daughter and her family for a fun trip to Disneyland and just got home late last night. What a great time! I sure love spending time with our family :)
Megan had the great idea to create a picture book for my Dad's birthday. She collected pictures from all of us with my Dad through the years and put them together in a "Critter Book". (The kids all call him Critter). There are pictures of them skiing, hiking, boating, eating, riding go-carts, going to Disneyland, even sky diving together! It turned out great and I think he is really enjoying it.
We missed my youngest son, he couldn't make it, but we did a Google hangout with him so he could say "hi" to everyone. (My brother was visiting too!) We played some fun games and Jeff and Jessie made "Butter Beer" - famous from Harry Potter and SO delicious. I must get the recipe!
Back to quilting this week. It would be nice to finish quilting Dear Jane before my birthday, as a gift to myself :)
I got the recipe today from Jessie! I'll forward it to you.
ReplyDeleteSooooo fun!! Happy 3-0 Jeff!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun weekend! Here's the Butterbeer recipe for anyone interested:
ReplyDeleteAbout 24 oz cream soda (2 cans)
1/2 cup (or even a little more :) ) butterscotch dessert syrup
1 cup whipped cream
Fold 2 Tbsps of melted butter into whipped cream
Fold in 2 Tbsps of vanilla (maybe just one if you're using pure vanilla extract. We use imitation vanilla.)
Then you just spoon the whipped cream stuff onto the soda/butterscotch mixture!
This makes enough for the two of us!
