"We're Rollin' in the Dough!"

That's Right....it's our favorite time of year....
Bulk Pie Making Time!
Ok, for those of you who know me...Yes, it has a lot to do with the fact that I love eating Pie dough! If you say "gross" then you don't have my pie dough recipe! "Thanks Mom." ( I think she actually entered it into a contest when she was in high school and won!)....I also have my grandma's lucky parring knife which I'm convinced is the ticket...j/k Maybe I should keep it a secret?!?
-Too late...the girls are already experts!

They're busy at it so put your orders in now..

"They're not ready yet Will (l)....."

See....Look at them, you just have to taste this dough!

Sprinkles and all???
(no matter how much influence I assert I can't convince them that sprinkles aren't appropriate on "everything"...maybe I'm wrong!?

(Thank you Anya & Tracie for the personalized aprons) *******************I didn't get a picture of it...because it was hazardous to bring the camera into the kitchen after the flour started flying and shortening all over our hands...

However, Eden did make her very first little pies. (she's been doing it for years, but this time-no hands from Mommy) She made them in these little ceramic heart shaped dishes, it was sooo cute to watch her roll and transfer in into the little dish and attempt to "flute" the edges. Then when I was off in the bathroom washing about a cup of shortening off of Hallé..lol,- Eden totally surprised me and took the Saran wrap and covered all 8 pie crusts that we had rolled and arranged in the dishes and needed to cover and freeze...I was so proud of her (& thankful I didn't have to do it)Making Pies with the girls will always be my very favorite thing to do together; it's messy, delicious, and always makes me grateful that I have loved ones to share them with...I hope it will continue to be one of theirs throughout the years. I truly am blessed with the sweetest and most adorable daughters, a wonderful family and perfect best friends. When I think of those that God picked to let me share afternoon laughs & tears with, Starbucks caffeine relief breaks, and holiday stupid human tricks with...I know I am blessed! When I have those days that I feel "just average"...I look at my "power team"...you know who you are, and I know in my heart for the ump-teen million-th time how lucky I am as "His child" to share my God's Eye view! "Thank you God for letting my eyes be open to your small and purposeful things in life-especially for my babies and pies!"
