New York

This past weekend, we went to NY to visit family. U. Andy & A. Becky were there from Iowa, so we got to see everyone again!

Sam, Amanda & I drove up on Friday night.

We got there about 11:15 PM and someone was up and waiting for us!

So, we had a little fun and wrapped her up like a mummy!

We made chocolates on Saturday.

First, you make the filling:

Then you shape the filling into different shapes, depending on the flavor.

No names mentioned, but somebody had a little fun! :)

and no, it wasn't me!

After dinner, we made the chocolate sauce and started dipping them:

First you have to cut up the wax:

We had lots of help dipping!

Aunt Alice turned 70 back in October, so we surprised her with a cake and her gift.

See this little cutie?

That's Miss Ella Rose, one of the latest additions to the Virkler family!

I don't think there was a single moment the whole weekend where she wasn't being held!

Overall, great weekend!
