Angela did such a great job icing cookies for the first few min, but then she discovered that eating the frosting was much better than putting it on the cookie :) Carolyn did a fantastic job at decorating!! She's such a good helper!
If you came into my home right now and looked at the tree, you may think we are a little odd...only the top half of the tree is decorated. You may be able to guess why! I have a little cute one-year-old that loves taking ornaments off of the tree and hiding them in her special spots around the house :) For the first few days, I kept putting all of them back on the tree...but eventually gave up...now we only have half of a tree decorated!
I think I might not be the only one with this problem! I got this picture off of Michelle's (my sister) blog. It makes me laugh so hard out loud every time I see it! Look at the guilt on this little boy's face! Caught in the act!! Haha! I love Coooper :)
These are some more pics I stole off of my sister's blog. Here are some more pictures from our fun in Utah:

Angela just loves Cooper!
Fun Uncle Richy with the kids...
Being back in Utah was wonderful...but also a little bitter sweet for me. I love living here and wouldn't want it any other way, but I really do miss a lot about living in Utah....For instance, nothing can replace how I use to be able to hang out with my sister, Michelle, everyday. We'd get together everyday during the week (usually we'd find ourselves hanging out multiple times in one day). Luckily, we are on the same cell phone plan so we still talk all of the time on the phone - major blessing in my life! I don't know what I would do without those phone conversations...I don't make a decision without her consent! Just kidding...but she probably feels that way!
Carolyn feels the same way about Michelle's cutie, Jaxon...she misses him so much and was so excited to reunite with her buddy:
Carolyn and Jax posed like this all on their own.
I was going to go out to Utah for a couple of weeks during some of Andrew's busy season, but the trip was so hard on Angela! Before we left for Utah, she was taking 3-4 hour naps everyday and sleeping perfectly at night! Well, on the trip the poor little girl really struggled sleeping in a new place...and even now, 2 weeks after the vacation, her sleeping is still really messed up. She has a hard time taking naps and sleeping at night! Hopefully with time, our little sweetie will start to go back to the good little sleeper she used to be. I'm sad that this means that I won't be going out there any time soon! Angela (and me!) just can't take it! But we are so excited that we will have vistors coming to us and hopefully it won't seem too long until we make it back out there!

So sorry about Angela and her sleeping. I hope it stays better for her. We'll just have to come out there next. And I'm so proud of Coopie for "making" your blog. That face cracks me up too. And I want that sugar cookie recipe. And I love their matching aprons - where did you get those? And whenever I use that orange bowl, Mark and I both think about those mashed potatoes Andrew made that one time. Best ever!
My tree is in the same state, Abbey just loves to get her hands on whatever she can lights and all. Now she just pulls on the branches and I hope she never gets strong enough to pull it over on herself. Your pictures are so cute! I am sorry that Angela is having trouble sleeping hopefully it gets better. Jude went through that a lot when I would go see my family. I think it really takes a lot out of them. Good luck! However I am sorry that you are not coming back to Utah anytime soon it would have been good to get together.
It was fun seeing you guys a few weeks ago! Your cute kids are growing up so fast! :)
