How to Frost Sugar Cookies

How to frost sugar cookies: Anna style.

1. Stir some "paint" into store-bought frosting.

2. Pour sprinkles everywhere.

3. Show Daddy how it's done.

4. Eat a pound of frosting every minute.

5. Show off the end result.

6. Be happier than I've been all month.

7. And make the biggest mess (that still needs to be cleaned up).

8. Don't forget "Annew!" He loves frosting sugar cookies too.

More Pics....

We still have a few pictures left from our families' St. Louis trip. We took Josh's parents up to WashU to see the campus. We were popsicles but we had fun. This is at Josh's office where he works every day.

Grandma and Grandpa Lee really spoiled us! We opened all of their Christmas gifts the night before they left. Everything was wonderful. Thanks you guys! Look how big Anna's new doll is compared to Andrew. They are almost the same size.

Anna loves to feed her babies her dinner. It's pretty cute.

Andrew's new toy!

Anna LOVED unwrapping the gifts. I think it was her favorite part.

Her new baby eats, sleeps, cries, and laughs. I think Anna is in heaven.

Andrew's Blessing Day

This is my new favorite picture. I love it. Andrew just looks so happy and snuggly. As I mentioned earlier, we blessed Andrew this past weekend in church. It was a wonderful experience. We felt so much love for this little man. He has a good, soft, and sweet spirit. We couldn't be happier to have him. Our family has felt so much good come from him. We love you Andrew! Here are a few, well...several, pictures from this his blessing. Enjoy!

The whole crew! We LOVED having everyone there.

Anna was NOT in the mood for pictures. So, Aunt Kellie entertained her. As you can see, Aunt Kellie is a natural. She is the only one who could get her to laugh. Thanks Aunt Kellie! Andrew helped too by giving her kisses.

And this....this is our lovely family picture. I think I'm going to blow it up and mount it on the wall. ;-)

Fun Filled Weekend

We had a WONDERFUL, family filled weekend. Both of our parents and my sister, Kellie, flew in for Andrew's baby blessing. We have been richly blessed to have the amazing families that we do. We feel very fortunate to have them in our lives and are so grateful for all of the love they constantly show us. Here are a few pictures from this weekend. (We'll blog about the blessing later).

We all went down to the Arch. It was super fun. We got to watch a really, really interesting movie on how it was made. The Arch is 650 feet high and as they were constructing it, the workers never wore a harness or anything. All of our stomachs were in knots as we watched them work. It was pretty fascinating.

This is us inside the movie theater.

Josh, Kellie, and Dave went up to the top of the Arch. This is a picture of them inside the little cube that takes you to the top.

I thought we would all die of hypothermia. It was SO cold outside. The wind was blowing like crazy. We took one outside picture and ran for the car!

Anna and Aunt Kellie. Aren't they both just gorgeous!

On Saturday, we went to the famous Pappy's BBQ. If you know us, you know we're getting BBQ. It was absolutely delicious. We ordered the very last of the ribs for the day, so it tasted even better.

As you can tell, Anna was pretty happy to be there.

Anna is eating her first rib!

I guess she liked it by the look on her face. She is shoving it in there, as if you can't give it to her fast enough.

This picture is out of focus but still really cute.

We all had a great weekend together. We feel very blessed.
