The Ice Castle sounds like a lot of fun to visit. The Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake sounds very yummy! We enjoy Farmer Boy as well. Tonight is game night at our house - it is my turn to pick - probably I'll pick Settlers of Catan. We enjoy playing games around here!Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-51823541094899271912013-02-24T20:30:11.945-06:002013-02-24T20:30:11.945-06:00The ice castle looks amazing.

And your dessert would be all that much better!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-2369873230415728092013-02-19T23:25:44.712-06:002013-02-19T23:25:44.712-06:00I love Laura Ingalls Wilder books, too, and have r...I love Laura Ingalls Wilder books, too, and have read the whole series countless times myself; right now, I'm introducing them to my six-year-old daughter. Farmer Boy seems more obsessed with food than the others, possibly because it's about Almanzo's childhood rather than Laura's -- and I'm kind of glad we won't get to The Long Winter until (hopefully!) our snow has melted and the temps aren't below zero around here. I haven't played Bananagrams; my usual game partner is six. :)JoannaTopazThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374763988136546001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-90070870823602058042013-02-18T13:15:31.264-06:002013-02-18T13:15:31.264-06:00I'm late popping over from FFF.

Then you will realize why she was always so obsessed with food. :) It's always fun to play games. Have you tried Bananagrams? It's like an expanded game of Speed Scrabble.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-21875788617035749752013-02-16T23:31:48.642-06:002013-02-16T23:31:48.642-06:00I'll check out your blog and may be able to jo...I'll check out your blog and may be able to join the Laura Ingalls Wilder challenge wrap/up parts for the end of the month.JoannaTopazThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374763988136546001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-42457531234761453302013-02-16T23:30:22.085-06:002013-02-16T23:30:22.085-06:00A winter deep woods hike sounds lovely.

I've read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books several times myself and am now having the fun of introducing my daughter to them.JoannaTopazThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374763988136546001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-59475445326501835652013-02-16T09:18:52.471-06:002013-02-16T09:18:52.471-06:00oh how fun!! a winter ice carnival! we don't h...oh how fun!! a winter ice carnival! we don't have enough snow here in my eastern part of New York State to have one of those but we did have a winter carnival at one of the state parks last month. There was just 4 inches of the white stuff but my friend and I had a blast on a deep woods winter hike.<br /><br />Yay for reading Laura Ingalls Wilder....we read the entire set together when my daughters were young. In fact my 14 yr old still likes to pull them out every now and then! :)<br />enjoy your weekend!!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476560065877949224.post-68633547640586600512013-02-16T08:24:33.798-06:002013-02-16T08:24:33.798-06:00I've never lived where it is cold enough to su...I've never lived where it is cold enough to sustain something like an Ice Castle. Looks fun to visit!<br /><br />I don't have any good china, though I wish I did, and love the idea of bringing it out for special occasions.<br /><br />I'm in the same situation with board games. I enjoy them, and my husband doesn't though he will join in occasionally. When all the kids are home we usually get in a few.<br /><br />I happen to be hosting a Laura Ingalls Wilder reading challenge this month (her birthday and day of death were in February.) There is more info. about it here: http://barbarah.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/the-laura-ingalls-wilder-reading-challenge-2013/. Would love to have you join us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
