Churning Butter


Churn away!


Finally done and ready to press

Messy process!!!:)

Silly Abby! We called her butter bangs for the rest of the night!

The other night we went over to Maw Maw and Poppa's house for dinner and before we ate Abby and Reese learned how to make butter! Maw Maw still has her Grandmother's (Abby and Reese's great-grandmother Carrie Mitchell) butter churn from a long time ago. Maw Maw remembers making butter in the same churn when she was a kid. It was fun that the kids got to learn how too! The kids started out working the churn together but pretty quick Reese lost interest but Abby just kept at it----she LOVES butter:)
Poppa also helped and he and Abby followed it through to the end and made 3 sticks of butter!!! Way to go guys! After watching the whole process let's just say I'm very happy that someone else makes the butter and puts it in grocery stores for me to buy!! I think I was born in the right generation:)
