Beet Balls (beet pickles)

This started back in February of this year on Sid's birthday. Tina gave her dad this big giant box of candy for his birthday. He has been thinking mmmmm what do for Tina's birthday.
Today, a day before her birthday we went up to her house for a visit and to give her her birthday card and gift.She had the box on her lap and thought we had filled it up with more candy.

Dad and I went to the Amish market and bought Tina two jars of beet pickles because she likes them so well. We individually wrapped one pint of beets.
When she opened the box she still didn't know what was inside.

She slowly opened the first wrapped goodie and found A BEET PICKLE.


Tina is showing the bottle with the juice in case she decides to unwrap them and put them in the jar.
We gave her a full pint jar also. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
She did eat a few and so did McKay before we left. Now she has
the box. Tagged your it.
