Happy Birthday Harry Potter!

So, as I'm sure you all know, Harry Potter celebrated his 30th birthday on July 31st. Cousin Emily, along with Minnie, made sure we marked the occasion appropriately. Emily, Izak, Micah, Zane, and Gwen all spent the night at our house on Thursday, July 29th and Emily brought recipes and ingredients so she and Minnie could make Butter Beer (non-alcoholic, of course!) and Treacle Fudge. Emily also made Snitch cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.

Then on Saturday, July 31st, Minnie invented her own version of Cauldron Cakes...

made some more Butter Beer, and invited some friends over to celebrate:

Kari likes them too.

In other news, we celebrated Pioneer Day with a bar-b-q and fireworks at Tim and Rachelle's house. And our very own Jumble was on T.V. marching in the Days of '47 Parade in Salt Lake City. But we can't really show that on the blog, so you'll have to take our word for it. And here's also a couple of photos of the boys at the splash pad in Highland.

So does treacle fudge taste good? How about butterbeer?

The treacle fudge was basically just fudge--they just called it that. Butter beer was all right--pretty sweet in my opinion. It has butter and butterscotch in it and cream soda and is served warm. Emily and Minnie have the recipe if you want to try it out.

fun photos! thanks for posting! I think I looked up treacle fudge one time and it actually sounded yucky. Butterbeer sounds very sweet.
