Ready for what I thought was just going to be dinner with BigBear, Adam and Meghan. |
Can I just tell you about the sweetest thing ever?! Saturday night my friends and family totally got me with a Surprise Birthday Party!!!! I felt so, so loved! Meghan put it all together and everyone kept their lips sealed!
I haven’t had a surprise party since I was 16! I thought that BigBear and I were just going out to dinner with with Adam and Meghan and to my surprise we pulled up to the fire department where my friends and family were standing with balloons and banners to welcome me to my party!!
Disney/Disney Princesses!! hahahaha! An absolute PERFECT theme for this Disney loving girl!
Look, look, look!!! Disney and Disney Princess stuff everywhere! Just because I’m turning 29 doesn’t mean that I can’t have a Disney loving party!!! haha
Thomas’ grandma thought of the perfect gift haha. A gift card and Chocolate! I was so, so happy to see her there!
Oh and goodness knows…..what would I do without these ladies!
Nikki, Crystal, Me & Meghan |
I am so lucky to have such amazing friends and family!

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups banana pudding (I used a box mix but you can use homemade)
1/4 cup crushed Vanilla Wafers
Once the sugar is dissolved completely, mix in the heavy cream and the vanilla.
Turn on the ice cream maker and pour the mixture into the ice cream machines frozen freezer bowl.
Let the ice cream churn for 10 minutes.
Let the ice cream churn for 15 minutes.
Now pour half of the ice cream into an airtight container, sprinkle on half of the crushed vanilla wafers. Pour in the other half of the ice cream. Top with the rest of the crush vanilla wafers. Now use a knife to swirl the crushed vanilla wafers into the soft ice cream.
