Root beer taste test

I follow someone on Instagram named Kelly Jensen that does something she calls a Live List with her family.  It's like a bucket list except it's not really a list of things to do before dying, but a list they make together as a family that has activities and service and things they want to do to LIVE their life now the best way they can.  We've adapted that as a family.

The Jensen family do a root beer taste test every year and Elliot and Andrew wanted to add that to our live list so we did!  We also invited the Waldman family to join us a few hours before and then volunteered to watch the Manning kids two hours before so we had a full house.
We lined up all the different flavors and everyone got a taste of each.  Then everyone had root beer floats.  My favorite ones from the glade bottles were the Brownie one and Bulldog, right next to it.  I think those were favorites among the kids too.  I still don't have much of a sweet tooth this pregnancy and I don't really like soda but a good root beer float every now and again is really good!
 Alice had a hard time on and off because she wouldn't fall asleep.  Bless her!  She did well with Andrew most of the time.
 After the taste testing the kids watched a movie while the adults played Harry Potter Clue.  I love this game and Bradley and I both ended up winning. It was so fun having friends over tonight!  They actually live down the street, and I'm not sure why we don't get together more often. :)
^ ^ The girls tried hard to cheer Alice up. ^ ^
 Also, Avery lost her 6th tooth today!  Two on top and four on bottom now!  Love those growing smiles. :)
