Concert on the Lawn...

Our family really enjoys music, which is because I love music.  I grew up learning to play the piano and  they could hardly keep me off of it.  Then in high school I decided I wanted to learn to play guitar now I am able to pass this love of music down to my kids.  They decided they wanted to have a concert on the lawn.  Gabe is playing the harmonica  Anna the moraka and Noah the Ukulele.  They even included a tip jar.

   I made this cookie recipe the other day and they were awesome.  I didn't put the potato chips in them because I didn't have any and they still turned out great.  These cookies remind me of a grandma friend I had. Whenever we would go to her house she had these super yummy cookies.  I always wanted to get her recipe, but never did.  Now I found a cookie that reminds me of Violet.
