More Blossoms
Apple Blossoms And Dessert
The apple tree in our backyard is starting to bloom. The lilacs will be next. I love this time of year!
We made this for dessert yesterday. Chocolate pie in a jar. We baked a graham cracker crust in the bottom of canning jars. Next, we added homemade chocolate pudding and topped it with fresh whipped cream. Who knew you could bake in a canning jar? Way cool.
Tonight, we had strawberry shortcake in a jar. Yellow cake on the bottom, fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. I didn’t get any pictures of this one. We couldn’t wait and emptied our jars before we even thought to snap a picture. It was delish!
Sophia and I are already planning brownies for our next jar baking adventure. Who’s ready for dessert?
Sophia’s Special Day
Sophia had her 1st communion this past Sunday. We were fortunate to share the day with both sets of Sophia’s grandparents, an aunt, an uncle and cousins.
We went back to our house for lunch after the service.
Sophia helped to make the fancy cookies.
A quick change into comfy clothes before opening gifts.
Because it was so cold and windy on 1st communion day, I made her put the dress on again for some outdoor photos the next day.
She got a little bored with the serious photos, so she decided to do her own thing.
By this point it was obviously time to be done with photos, but I did snap one more after the veil was off and we were inside.
We are grateful that we had our family here to join us for this memorable event. Sophia received wonderful gifts that she will always cherish. Beautiful necklaces, a personalized bible, a cool book to guide her in her faith and a very special gift from her Grandma – a sterling silver rosary that she purchased over 60 years ago and wanted to pass on to her granddaughter. It was a very special day indeed.
