Thanksgiving

I am hopping all our friends and family enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend.



David had requested I make homemade pies for Thanksgiving this year. It was a tradition of his mother. I was reluctant at first, but after flipping through my Betty Crocker Cookbook, I felt it was a task I could take on. So, I planned on baking on the morning of since we had no plans.....I got sick on Wednesday, I had not shopped for the ingredients and David had to work. I woke up on Thursday feeling a little better and David wanted to take me and the kids out for breakfast. He asked if I was feeling well enough to bake pies with his help, so we went to Walmart to pick up the ingredients that I did not have at home. Of coarse, most of the ingredients we were looking for were out, so we found other options. They did have Pumpkin filling, so we were good there. We found a banana cream pie kit by the bananas and an apple crisp kit in the produce.....score! We came home and started on the pies, David and Taylan baked the pumpkin and I assisted the girls with the banana cream. Once the pumpkin was baked I did the apple crisp.



We watched the Dallas Cowboys football game...they won. We had dinner at my mom's apartment and enjoyed a nice feast with all the goodies.
