above: Our food table and favorite thing display. I am including the recipe for this delicious, easy apple cake below - we asked the sisters to bring in one of their favorite things - and we guess what belonged to which sister. It was a fun time figuring things out and hearing why that item was picked as a favorite thing.

here is the soap that I made at home. Warning: do not make soap around children - we had to take Sura to the ER b/c he licked some of it before I put it in molds. If you would like directions on how we made this soap - contact Megan Allen or you can browse this website. It is very informative.Betty Smethers' apple cake
