Isabella Angel celebrated her 10th birthday.  What a sweet little girl she is.  Always cheerful, helpful and sweet.  I have upstairs in my treasure box little love notes from her to Fred and I which she leaves on our pillow several nights a week.  She’s a good aunt as well to her three nieces and one nephew.  We had a great time celebrating her day and she was so excited to receive her first real rose from brother Clayton.   Maggie baked her a really delicious crazy cake.

Marisa made a pail of Orange Sherbert ice cream and Silvana made a pail of Cookies and Cream!  Both were simply delicious, made with our own cream and eggs.  We kind of splurged since it was the day before Lent started!

 It was fun to have the entire family over for supper and we had a feast of pasta and creamy meatballs, home-made onion rings and donuts.  The foods don’t really go together normally but after all, it was the night before Lent! 

The grand babies had plenty of extra attention from the Aunt’s.

I’ve been pretty busy lately with school and cheesemaking so I have not had much time to blog.  Yesterday we had the sheep sheared by Luke and Clayton and I will try to update that with some of the photos I took of that procedure.  Hopefully very soon.  Everyone is happy to have finally received a real good snow which probably won’t last but we needed the moisture very badly.   In the mean time, I just had a request for Carbonaro for supper.
