we had one hoppin' (easter pun intended) weekend! we enjoyed a couple of game nights and sushi with friends. Up until now adam has hated sushi but loved it the other day, proof that people can change. i went on a 20 mile training run and lived to tell the tale. i also had breakfast with my favorite girls and bff's. we had tons of easter fun with both of our families. here's the proof...
just a few of the crosby's
i'd guess that adam ruins about 90% of all our pictures by purposely having food in his teeth or closing his eyes.
cutest little mary. sometimes i wish she was mine, until she poops, then i hand back over to her parents.
look at this kid's vest and plaid jacket! he's the flyest 6 month old i've ever seen.
i made some cookies and ate myself into a sugar coma. i'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts but these are to die for! my sister-in-laws recipe, give em a try. you won't be disappointed.
Lemon Cookies
3/4 cup soft butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 T. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
1 T. lemon extract
1 1/2 T. lemon juice (best with myer lemons...but great with regular as well)
3 cups flour (this is for really dense almost mound like cookies, I use 2 1/2 cups for more of a flat sugar cookie type)
1 t. baking soda
Cream butter, sugar, vanilla, salt and egg. Beat until fluffy. Add extract and juice. Mix well. add flour and soda, dont over mix.
Bake at 350 for 11 minutes
Frosting:
1 Box powdered sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 t. lemon extract
(i never know how much a box of powdered sugar is...I just add as much powdered sugar as I need until it gets thick enough that it acts as a frosting rather than a glaze.) They are also great with fresh berries on top!
Enjoy!
