Sunday School Madness

Sunday night we had our Sunday School get together for the Super Bowl and last night we had a baby shower for Robin!  We have the world's best Sunday School class.  It is such a lovely group of ladies to be around.  Everyone was so welcoming when we were so new to class.  I hate to admit it, but I had not been in Sunday School in a really, really long time.  I won't say how long, but it was a loong time!  We had been in church, but never joined a Sunday School class.  My dad was right when he kept saying, you have to join a Sunday School class.  I now see why!  We didn't know what we were missing by JUST going to church.  I encourage anyone to do the same.

Check out Kinley and her totally blinging shoes. I can't wait to have a girl one day. I can't put crystals on JM.

I didn't go upstairs to the "man cave" to get pictures of the guys.  I'm sure they would have been thrilled.

The theme of Robin's nursery and shower was airplanes.  Her bedding is so cute and she is so creative and can make just about anything!  If you'll remember, she's the one who makes the cookies that look like pieces of artwork and no one wants to eat them because they're so cute!

These are the cookies that Robin did for Erin's shower for Kinley!  Aren't they cute?  She should SOO start a bakery!

Robin with the table o food!

Recipe Time:

"Country Club" Punch

2 containers white grape juice

2 bottles of ginger ale (and then add a little more)

That's it!

-As for the ice ring, I put white grape juice in a bundt pan and then added lime, lemon, and star fruit slices and froze it.

I have gotten some compliments on this sugar cookie recipe.  I took some to the Super Bowl party on Sunday and everyone liked them.  They're easy to make and the dough is easy to cut out into shapes!  I got this recipe on allrecipes.com

Smooth Sailing Sugar Cookies (I cut this recipe in half and it made about 14 cutouts) My WordPress is not letting me put spaces down here at the bottom for some reason.  Sorry the sentences are so smashed together.
