Whip it! Whip it good!

Tonight we had such a fun FHE.  We talked about the pioneers and the sacrifices they made coming across the plains.  We talked about the blessings we have living now.  While we talked we each took turns shaking a jar with whipping cream in it and turning it into butter.  It was super fun and the kids were amazed when all of a sudden the cream separated into the buttermilk and the butter.  I think Andy might have been the most impressed as he hasn't ever made butter before when we all did it in kindergarten.  Afterwards we cracked open our Canadian real maple syrup and made some french toast with our fresh, homemade - deliciously whipped butter.  Fun and yummy!
