Turkey and Pies!!!

Ever since my college days with dear LeAnne, it has been a tradition to make a "thankful turkey," in the days before Thanksgiving to remember what we are thankful for--big and little things from family and the gospel to snowflakes and chocolate. This was the first year Olivia could really participate and understood what it meant to be thankful.
Some of the things Olivia was thankful for:
Dad
Mom
Grandmas and Grandpas
Ice Skating
Our Shelley house
Her body

One of the very fun parts of Thanksgiving this year for me was making pies with my wonderfully fun sister, Miranda. We made a total of 11 pies late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Here are some pics of our masterpieces: cheesecake pie, coconut cream, chocolate peanut butter, regular apple, dutch apple, strawberry rhubarb, huckleberry raspberry, and pecan. Later, when we got to Andrew and Brenda's, we baked pumpkin and cherry (store-bought-gasp!) ;)

Oh man, now I'm hungry! The pies were great, but the company was better--we had a great time with all of David's family (minus Gram and Grandpa on their mission in New York)--thanks to Andrew and Brenda for hosting all us craaaazzzzyyy people!!!
