These are a few of our favorite things

Strawberries...

These are from our garden. I attempted a pectin-free jam, but it didn't set. So they became strawberry sauce that's really yummy over ice cream.

Cupcakes...

Especially 24 cupcakes that are covered in a ton of frosting and smooshed together to make one GIANT cupcake!

Orange soda...

at the movies, with cousin Maya.

Strawberry soda...

and ice cream...

both on the patio on a beautiful evening at Pizza Luce, the girls' favorite pizza restaurant.

Apple pie and chocolate milk...

at the coffee shop with toys - you can see the toy room in the background. It also has great coffee and free wi-fi. It's a family favorite.

And finally, raspberries...

2-3 cups of them picked from our neighbor Beth's canes with the intent of making jam... but somehow none of them made it home!
