Making Smoothies

Tonight we had smoothies for dinner. We haven't had smoothies forever. First because I didn't have a blender until Christmas and then I think because I was out of the habit of it. But today we had smoothies. The kids loved helping make them. Annika loved putting the lid on the blender and pushing the buttons. We did something wrong though, because the maiden use of the blender resulted in a burning smell and a dead engine on the blender. I can't imagine how frozen blueberries, pears and peaches mixed with yogurt, mild and unfrozen bananas could've burned it out...but I think we killed the blender.
