GIRL'S PIE BAKING DAY . . .

Well last year we wanted to get all us girls (Momma, Lay, Lorie & Me) together and bake all the pie's for Thanksgiving dinner but the time slipped away and we just never made it happen, so Mom & Lay got stuck doing it all by themselves, which from the stories we've heard they had a blast doing it and I was bummed I missed out on all the fun!! So this year there was talk about the same plan of a girls pie baking day and when we found out we were going to have Grandma in town to help/join us there was no doubt that we were going to find a way to make it happen!! So we scheduled the Sat. before Thanksgiving and all got together at Momma's house to bake us some homemade pie's from scratch, crust and all!!! I have to admit I'm not much of a pie eater so I wasn't so excited about the pies themselves however a girls day with all my most favorite ladies in the whole world just cant be passed up!! We had so so so much fun hanging in the kitchen together, laughing, telling stories and learning all kinds of little helpful kitchen tips from Grandma!! And I must say that we had the best and most handsome bartender in the whole world, Grandpa, serving us up some White Russians (one of my most favorite cocktails this time of year) and the best part is all he required for a tip was a kiss .. cant beat that!!! Then later that afternoon the guys came over with the kiddos and we all had dinner and hung out!! Nothing better than storytime with Great Grandma ... all the kids took turns on her lap either reading her stories or her reading them stories!! I can remember all the years I spent sitting on that very same lap listening to story after story!!


It really was an extra special day that we will remember and cherish forever and ever ... thank you Momma for making this happen!!! Hopefully we can talk Grandpa & Grandma into coming back next year and do it all over again!! Oh and I am now officially hooked on Pecan Pie!!!
