FAVORITE THINGS

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad... I simple remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad!

Happy 60th!

Grandma & Grandpa just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Congratulations! You both are such great examples to us all individually and even moreso as a wonderful couple. Lots of love!

Family Get Together

We had a great get-together at Grandma and Grandpa's house this evening. It's always great to see everyone, and of course a special treat that Uncle Brent & Aunty Connie were there. We talked about the upcoming event next year, and I emphatically tried to get everyone committed to checking out our blog (if you're reading this, it worked, yeah! :) Well, Aunty Deb said that if I gave her the recipe to the cookie salad I brought she would check the blog, so here it is:

Cookie Salad

3 large tubs of Cool Whip (thawed)
1 large box of vanilla pudding
5 small cans of mandarin oranges (drained)
1 large can of crushed pineapple (drained)
2 sliced bananas
1 package of striped shortbread cookies

-combine cool whip, pudding mix, oranges, pineapple & bananas in large bowl
-crush cookies into bite size pieces and just before serving, fold into mixture
-ENJOY!
