Just new to this Blog thing so I just realize I should do the Blog first, then post it to my FaceBook profile - So here's the story:
Grammy and Miss Emily Make Easter Cookies
Emily came for an overnight visit and we decided we should make Easter egg cookies. It was lots of fun! We didn't get pictures of actually mixing the dough because those durn beaters kept getting a little out of hand and flinging bits of dough around...
We finally got the dough mixed, then on to important stuff:
LICK THE BEATERS!!! YUM!
Oh yes, we're having fun now! 
Mixing in the lemon peel
Get it all on the plastic wrap (Em taking pictures now)
One big blob of dough
Make it into a roll
Twist the ends
Into the fridge for 45 minutes.
We can hardly wait...
Slice, put on the cookie sheets, then into the oven

If you look close you can see Em's reflection as she takes the picture.
Warm cookies! Oh they smell so good!
I'm ready - when can we decorate?
Finally getting the icing on! Decorate away, Miss Em!
Sprinkles are good...
...and more sprinkles are better!
Our finished masterpieces #1
and #2!
...and they were as good as they look! Light, sweet, crispy and lemony! We shared some after dinner, sent home a plate for Aunt Crissy's house and brought the rest home to the Spatz house. What a great time we had!
