Tinker Bell Take 2

Another niece, another Tinker Bell outfit. ;-) Yep, I'm "THAT" aunt. LOL

I watched Rachelle a few hours Saturday while Ashli volunteered at Open Doors. I was too busy snapping pictures to realize the girl needed a wipe down. This is an example of why she and Sheba have so much in common right now. ;-)
This photo was a little blurry in color so I doctored it up and look how sweet it turned out!

Dresses & Dress Up

Avery admits to being a girly girl. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being girly...especially when you're 3 (almost 4). She likes dresses, princesses, and the color pink. (I also like to think she likes her Aunt Stephanie.)

We went over to celebrate my brother's birthday, albeit a few weeks late, Saturday night. I brought over some ice cream cake from DQ and a bag of goodies for Avery. She had fun opening her bag and the big hit was the Tinker Bell outfit with wings. She also really, really wanted some ice cream cake. Avery was very helpful and she carefully delivered each plate after I sliced the pieces. I think she was happy to finally eat her cake!

Briefly sharing a seat

Watering the flowersFirst, she put on the Tinker Bell outfit. Then, she added her pink sequin princess shoes. To top it off, she added the purple princess cap (from Holiday World).

She is definitely the cutest almost 4 year old we know! :-) (And Jason looked pretty cute in the fancy purple cap too. LOL!)

Dessert

Here's another recipe to try. I made it for a family dinner last week at M&A's and it was a big hit. Very easy too. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a fan of easy.

4 cups fresh strawberries, divided

1 can (14 oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

8 OREO Cookies, finely chopped

1 Tbsp. butter, melted

LINE 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Mash 2 cups of the strawberries in large bowl. Add condensed milk, juice and 2 cups of the whipped topping; mix well. Pour into prepared pan.

MIX chopped cookies and butter. Spoon over whipped topping mixture. Cover with ends of foil and gently press cookie mixture into whipped topping mixture. Freeze 6 hours or until firm.

INVERT dessert onto serving plate when ready to serve; remove pan and foil. Spread remaining whipped topping onto top and sides of dessert. Slice remaining 2 cups strawberries; arrange over dessert. Store leftovers in freezer.

Stephanie tip: I used 2 extra oreo's and an extra sliver of the butter stick for the crust.
