Sugar Cookies

I think this is the best sugar cookie recipe. They are always soft and taste delicious. I don't really like cut out cookies. I would have just made them, because we like to decorate them for Christmas, but these cookies are good enough to eat too.

Cookie
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Frosting
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powder sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Refrigerate at least 3 hours then work the dough, add flour, roll and cut out
Bake 375 for about 6-8 mins

This Month

I know it's a little uncharacteristic of me not to post for an entire month. I have had a lot going on in my life recently that has kept me from the blogging world. But, the boys and I have been good. We have been in Houston a few time this month. We had a great Thanksgiving with family and spent time playing with cousins, going to parks, going to Christmas parties and playing outside.


At the petting zoo. This goat was so funny. He kept having a staring contest with all the children. Chase didn't quite know what to think about the crazy staring goat. And isn't that baby big adorable.

My sisters waited in line for about 45 minutes to go on a Christmas carriage ride. Just one of the few things parents do to make sure their kids have holiday fun.

My boys love playing outside with their cousins.

Driving to and from Houston almost always puts the kids to sleep. It is rare for Baylor to take naps, but he usually does on the way home. Houston wears him out. Notice his battle wounds on his face. He got in a fight with his cousin. I think he's a little embarrassed, because he told me not to tell Dad about his fight.

Are you Serious?

I woke up to a $275 ticket on my car for parking in a handicapped parking spot. No lie, this is how my car was parked. Are you serious? I'm not parked in a handicapped parking spot. Apparently, because my front tire is over the line about 2 inches that deserves a $275 ticket. I honestly don't mind paying a ticket if I did something wrong, and especially in this case if I was parked in a handicapped parking spot, but I don't think I am.

Halloween

Baylor chose to be Thomas the Train this year for Halloween. As for Chase, I was not going to give him the choice, because I didn't think he would care, because he is still little. Boy was I wrong. The day of our trunk-or-treat he started freaking out when we tried to put on his lion costume. He apparently wanted to be Thomas the Train too. I decided it wasn't worth the tears, so I rushed to Target and got another Thomas the Train Halloween costume. He was so happy to be just like big brother.
