... that I'd do anything for sugar cookies?

Even go down to Kaari's house and help her sew some more. At least this time she made me dinner. JK, Kar is always super sweet and offers to make us dinner a lot. More often than I offer to make her dinner, now that I think about it...

Anyway, I told her I wanted to make sugar cookies and then she REALLY wanted me to come! I made the dough while she made dinner... and then we realized that Kar has no cookie cutters. Disaster? No way.

Kar made two cookie cutters out of cardstock and foil. She whipped these together in like 5 minutes! I was seriously impressed. But maybe she was just desperate for cookies hahahahahaha

They turned out perfect! But only because I frosted every single one and my OCD took over a little bit.

A lot a bit.  But it didn't matter cause everyone else was distracted by "A Goofy Movie." LOVE! But Matt was distracted by something else:

This is the face of a boy who just bought a very very very expensive snake. Cause he won it in an auction that I was pretty sure he was going to lose. But then he won. And now we have ANOTHER snake. Seriously. I can only blame myself.

I love cookies! And my husband. Obviously.

... that we love burgers?

I mean Matt. Matt loves burgers.

Pure joy.

... that I am the best sister?

Kaari has been asking me to alter her clothes for her ever since she realized I had a working sewing machine. She sweetly asks if she can come over and bring me some cookies or cake or something... and then brings a bag of pants that need to be skinnier or a shirts that are too wide or skirts that need hemming. Love that girl.

Luckily for me, she recently somehow conned Zach into buying her a machine of her own! My altering days are over! Or so I thought. First thing she wanted to do was bring her machine to my house so I could teach her how to use it. Should have seen that one coming. Anyway, we invited them all up for dinner and a sewing night. Zach immediately made himself very comfortable in our softest blanket:

(Look how happy he is hahahahahaha!)

And Kaari and I set up our Singers in my sewing room!

Are we adorable or what??? Kar's first project turned out pretty cute: a darling headband for the cutest little model ever.

We didn't even care that it was way past her bedtime and she was basically having a mental breakdown by the time we were done. Well, we cared, but we didn't do anything about it. Sorry, G.

I love being a big sister! Most of the time. Okay, always :)

... that we love museums?

I have always liked museums, and Matt does too. Our first "non-date" was at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art! Anyway, The Babies were taking Mom and Dad to the MOMA at BYU for a special exhibit on Christian artists called Sacred Gifts and we decided to tag along. It featured art by Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz, and it was really amazing. There was something about walking through the quiet museum with its naturally reverent atmosphere and studying pictures of Christ that was relaxing and spiritually uplifting. Art is so powerful! Plus we got to hang out with the fam, which is always a good time.

Matt LOVES art, so I wasn't that surprised when he asked if I wanted to get a print of something. We finally decided on this print:

"Agony in the Garden" by Frans Schwartz. I think it is beautiful and it reminds me that Christ will lean over us and comfort us in our own trials.

While we were down in Provo, we also went out to eat at Station 22 Cafe and visited the BYU Bookstore. Matt and I both had some things that we have wanted to get framed, so we spent a little time down in the frame shop in the bookstore basement and finally got a custom frame made for my San Francisco poster that Brooke gave me for Christmas! All in all, it was a pretty great day.

I love spending the day with family!
