A New Year, Ice Cream and Snow!!

 I am super excited for this new year!!!  There are lots of amazing new adventures in store for the Dick family!!! In April we have a new baby girl making her appearance in our family.  We can't wait to finally meet her!!  However, just two or three short weeks after she will be born we will be going on one VERY long drive across the country to California where we are moving!  It may be crazy but I am excited to be on the West Coast again though we will dearly miss Dover and all the wonderful friends we have here.

We have been here two and a half years with NO snow, so when Delaware randomly decided to have a snow storm... all our snow gear was desperately outdated.  The kids just couldn't wait to play in the snow, though, so with snow boots and pants that were too small- we enjoyed our moment of snow!!

 This new year also brings a touch of sad news, as Ryan has to leave us for an Air Force training for two whole months :( So, we decided to have another East coast adventure on Ryan's last weekend with us.  We visited the Turkey Hill Experience- a fun sort of museum of how Turkey Hill makes their delicious ice cream!!  We got as many free samples of ice cream as we wanted- yum!!

 The funnest part was being able to make our very own custom flavors of ice cream!!

 We each got our own pints of ice cream and were able to add in a flavoring, add ins and swirls!! I just loved Beckham's name tag on his ice cream :)

 Can you see the massive wall of add in behind me!!

 Here is Beckham adding in some marshmallow swirls!! I made a lemon ice cream with strawberry swirls and graham cracker chunks mixed in.  It was pretty darn good!!

 The kids had a blast doing all the fun things around the museum!

 The kids each got to make a commercial promoting their ice cream flavor!!  They may not have been very effective commercials but they were super cute!!

 We had such a fun day having our very first adventure of the new year!!

 We are really going to miss this guy for the next two months :( But we are so proud of him!! Ry is such a great husband and daddy and we are lucky to have him.  He works so hard for us and we just love him lots!!
