Princess Chef

Thought it would make a few people's Fridays happier to see some new Anna pictures. Two of her recent loves are princess dress-ups and helping me cook - these pictures pretty much tell the story.

It is not uncommon to have a princess join me for breakfast of toast and bananas (and the princess typically insists on using my knife to spread her own toppings).

I love my cookie-baking helper - here she was very excited about holding an egg:

Enjoying the fruits (or cookies) of her labor at our "movie party":

Ummm ...

Again, ummm ...

Random but worth adding - Anna got to meet Spiderman at the Buddy Walk we did to benefit the Down Syndrome Association.

This is a pretty typical evening - Anna helping me make dinner. Notice the naked Ariel doll next to the bowl:

I love this kid - on our way to school with blanket, "the girls," and her cd lyric book (oh! and her Reds shirt from Uncle Evan) ... that's the way Anna rolls!

More princess ... gotta love the shoes!

Helping me make some scrambled eggs - her favorite. It really is fun to have a little helper in the kitchen - Anna is so eager to learn, and the kitchen is a great place to teach!

Have a great weekend!
