What Do You Do When You're Snowed In?

We were snowed in for a few days this week, and it didn't take us to long to decide it was a good time to make Snow Cream!
Experimented with a few recipes and decided we liked this one best.

1 gallon bitter cold snow
2-3 cups of milk
1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tablespoon of Mexican vanilla*

Stir together well (test taste to determine how much sugar and milk you will need)
and serve immediately! 

* if you don't have Mexican vanilla, just use vanilla extract, and throw in an extra teaspoon of it.
Some of our family members enjoyed pouring a little bit of coffee over it for "coffee snow cream" ;)
Enjoy!

November!

 We have certainly had a lot going on lately, which is part of the reason I have been bad about posting.
Making cookies with the kids' "help" is always fun and challenging interesting! :)
Our church had their annual Craft and Bake sale...
 So many ladies put a lot of hard work into it.
 ~Setting up the Christmas tree!~
~Reid's birthday party~
The little kids did not lack for attention. :)
 Coffee and desserts were favorites of almost everyone. (who doesn't like cheesecake?)
 ~Thanksgiving~
Most of the married siblings were able to come over, and we had a good time.
Everyone wanted to hold the newborn Adelyn Nicole Thacker.
Born November 18th.


Kenny is a great example of all the expressions little kids make.
He had his first birthday at the very end of October.
 The new favorite game of the family is Settlers of Catan. (So much fun!)
Goofing off with Abbie! ;)

We have had our first couple of snow flurries... I am hoping for a lot more before Christmas!

  You will probably recognize this as the rather noisy, but fun game of Pit.

 Cowboy Sunday, and Texas Brisket meal at church. (a promotion of the Fire Hero Gear program we just finished)
 We have picked, sliced, peeled, juiced, canned, and frozen, tons of apples.



Well that's all for now, have a wonderful day!
