Who Needs Blue Bell?

We finally had our last Christmas get together last night. It was the Teague/White/DenHartog family gift exchange. This was the first weekend that worked for everyone.

We met at B's Aunt Karen and Uncle Roger's house in Pearland. We had dinner, did lots of visiting and catching up and then the kiddos opened all of their gifts. Chloe got a beautiful Princess Barbie and another Barbie with a horse. She also got a new pair of pjs, chocolate!, little pull back cars that she has been playing with for the last hour :) and also a Little Tikes Ice Cream maker.

I have to admit that I was hesitant about the ice cream maker but I went ahead and put it together at Chloe's insistence. I had gone to Walmart earlier and made sure to get whatever we needed to make it, which was only heavy whipping cream.

Chloe talked about how she was going to make Mommy some first, then make some for Daddy and herself....so sweet!

We got it all set up for her and she was determined to do it BY HERSELF. The instructions called for 10 minutes of hand cranking the gyro. I set a timer and she was off! She turned it, and turned it and turned it some more. She did it for the entire 10 minutes!

B opened the ball up and low and behold......ice cream!! And it tastes so yummy. I am so impressed. I see lots of ice cream making sessions in the near future. :)
