I Scream, You Scream

For Christmas, AJ's parents got us an ice cream maker. It is so cool and fun for kids. When I thought of ice cream makers I thought of those huge clunky metal ones where you have to pour salt in and it just seemed like a big hassle. We always had those at ice cream socials growing up and I really would have preferred some good ol' Braums. Well AJ loves homemade ice cream so he was stoked. Last weekend we were watching Tenney so Nick & Emily could go out. We thought that would be a fun activity for the kids. It turned out so great! AJ's mom gave me her recipe for vanilla and it was so DELICIOUS. I added extra cream because I don't think ice cream can be too creamy. The boys had so much fun turning the ice cream.

Here are the boys enjoying their ice cream they made! Nick and Emily said Tenney says ice cream is too cold so he probably wouldn't want any....but he asked for seconds! They really liked it and so did we. We want to try out some more flavors. If anyone has a good recipe they'd like to share, let me know!!

I love this system we have with Nick & Emily. This past weekend they watched our boys so we could go out. We had some gift cards we'd been saving up from Christmas so we went out to dinner and a movie and spent $5 for the entire evening! We ate at Red Lobster, which I haven't eaten at since junior high. Why? It was soooo yummy. Those cheddar biscuits were worth the trip alone. I had pineapple glazed tilapia. Yum. Then we went and saw Juno. Good movie. I want to see it again. I cried. Then again, what movie do I not cry at??
