She demonstrated extreme precision and speed removing the wrapping paper from her gifts. Her most frequent response was "I LOVE it!"
One of them was a great book about NASA and Cape Canaveral from Aunt Jessica. (Yes, they changed it back from Cape Kennedy to its original name due to objections from the local residents. It is still Kennedy Space Center, though.)
Here was one that didn't register on the "oh, what a great gift" scale. Until later.
Mimi got to try out the nifty mirror built into the nifty purse.
There was also a t-shirt with a portrait of "The Big Dog". A Keatshirt?
There were balloons, too. This one had a happy face behind it!
After the opening ceremony, we took a break and went outside to check for tomatoes, among other things.
It turns out the strange present was an Ice Cream Ball. It has an opening on one side for ice and salt, and on the other side for cream and sugar.
You roll and shake the ball to freeze the ice cream. It makes one pint. It actually worked quite well

Ice cream ball. Wow. It's really amazing what people come up with... I'm glad it worked! I think James and John could really get on board with that one. Where did you get it?
(BTW, thanks for the new post, I've been waiting and waiting!)
hello everyone,,,,,
julie i already have a ice cream ball for jm....i just forgot to bring it in july - will bring in sept....
Hooray - something else to add to the hornucopia '09 list!
Thanks for the pictures - it looks like you guys had fun!!
looking forward to making ice cream again (this week, AND) with the whole family!!!! will have to try new flavors too.
Let us know how it comes out. Mom made a batch using JM's ball (just to make sure it is working right, you see!) with cream and milk. It was better - certainly fresher tasting. It froze harder, too. But she was still talking about going over to Sonic to get a 'real' ice cream cone!
Oh, I also love the Keats shirt!
we made more ice cream this past saturday...and it was deeee-licious!
thanks for the fun!
