Thanksgiving Prep

After much anticipation it was finally time to make our Thanksgiving pies. I love making pie, and make everything from scratch, from the crust to using a fresh pumpkin. Jackson was thrilled to participate in the whole process.
Here are the highlights from the last two days of our pie baking:


Prepping the pumpkin to bake in the oven


Using the pastry blender for the first time to make the crust


Time for a cookie break in between pies
(notice the cookies are decorated with a number and as a turkey)


Cutting and peeling the apples
(this is the greatest kitchen gadget)


The finished product-
Pumpkin and Apple pie
We can't wait to enjoy them for dessert on tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving!
