This is Linzi's FAVORITE cookbook. The Pink Princess Cookbook - what else?! There are so many cute, easy and fun recipes (It's great for parties too). Last night I asked Linzi if she wanted to bake today. She ran to get her book and picked out the Cotton Candy Cupcakes. She said "Cupcakes are Ally's favorite, we should make them with Ally." So we did! I just love how she immediately thought of what Ally would like before herself. Lately, she has been very, very attached to Ally (of Cupcakes & Hairbows). On the days that we don't see Ally, she asks me over and over when Ally will come again. I love when Ally comes too. But what I really treasure is the friendship that is growing as they grow. I can't help but wonder if Linzi's recent attachment to Ally stems from a desire to have a little sister of her own?!!! Hmmmm ;-) While we ponder that one, I will just sit back and enjoy these two together. I hope that Ally & Linzi will always share this special friendship and I can't wait to see what she thinks of Alaina (Ally's sister who waits in China).
We really need a proper chef's hat. But, since we don't have one, we will just use these liners instead. ;-)
NOW we can get down to baking.
Mixing is fun!
A good pastry chef ALWAYS licks the spoon - well, okay maybe not. But how can one resist?
Sprinkles and more sprinkles!!! - notice Ally taste-testing below
All Done! Aren't they beautiful? And YUMMY! Mar*tha Stewart has nothing on us!
Note: I realize the lighting on some of these is off and the focus is not always just right. I still have sooooo much to learn w/ my new camera. I tried to venture out of the Auto mode but can't seem to make sense of it all!

Oooh la la! What a fun day fit for two princesses! I love their smiles. Such happiness : )
Yummy! What a sweet mom you are to bake with the girls. I know how wonderful it is that the girls have each other. I think I hear a little hint of something in your voice!!! One of the main reasons that we are going back to China (other than I wanted another baby) is so EK will have a sister to grow up with that is like her and will understand all she goes through. No pressure:). I am so thankful God made us friends- hope you have a blessed weekend!!!
Love Shay
Martha has got NOTHIN on you girl! They look great and it looks like the girls had a ball!!

Have a great weekend:)
Hugs,

Cute pics. You were brave to venture off auto in the middle of baking with two little ones. I'm just impressed you took so many pictures!
Can I just say how much we ALL appreciate the fun things you guys do with Ally? We are so thankful that you all are such a big part of her life! FUN!
Wonderful pictures!~
I emailed you last week about your re-design. Let me know if you got it. :)
What fun! Nothing like baking with a couple sweet girls. :) I need to see about getting that cookbook-Hannah would love it! Your pics are great...I still have a lot to learn about my camera too.
