Makes 4 servings. We traveled to Indiana yesterday to attend granddaughter Keira's 2nd birthday party. She loves the five little ladybugs book that was part of her gift from us.

The dolly stroller we gave her was also a hit. She pushed it all over the house the whole time we were there. Such a sweetie! We love you Keira!! Blessings~
