Sunday Fun

We ate lunch at Steak N Shake after church...none of us had ever eaten there before.  

So cute in his paper hat

 Cooper was the photographer for the day.  He took this photo of the two of us.

 and I found a dozen or so selfies on my phone!

 After ice skating practice, the ice cream truck made it's way through our neighborhood!  The kids can't resist!
