We worked all day Wednesday before Thanksgiving and produced 11 finished pies and one birthday cake. Two shells were not filled and eventually just ended up broken in pieces on my couch as extra cooking was daunting on top of all the regular cooking required for a family of 16.
My favorite was having my house full of my kids. We loved having the older kids back in the mix.
T
he pie table and the big helpers. It's essential to have lots and lots of pie. This party was just fine on pie.
I appreciate how my bug guys like to interact with children. They are always friendly and willing to give a tickle and or ride. I'm thankful for young men who love children.
A fun addition to the day was singing some primary songs. The children know the same songs from primary. They sounded great.
After we were done Isaac wanted to sing one more. I sang to him "I am a Child of God."
Andrea loves pie. She was sporting a black eye from hitting our table at home with her face as the bench pivoted her lighter weight when an older bigger sister sat on the other end.
Lots of satisfied bellies.
Greg sharing the latest news from our town and fielding questions from the Grandma's.
It was a nice day, relaxing and peaceful. We are abundantly blessed daily and as we stop to think of what is ours. This month we took at least 4 times to name 3-10 blessings we enjoyed. The kids hope we go again to this event. Life is good.
