Pie day today! It was our annual make but don't bake pie bonanza, and this year we cranked out 42 pies, half apple, half jumbleberry. We met at my mom's house, and together with her, Mikayla, Tysen, Ava, and Luke, plus some help from Makenna and Lyla, and a bit from Blythe and Lilly Bradford, we made crust (Ava and Luke), rolled (me), filled with guts (Mom, Luke, Ava, Tysen, Lyla, and Mikayla), and topped (me again) a lot of pies. While we worked in the kitchen, the other little people ran wildly around the house, whizzing through from time to time, stopping to see how things were going, demanding a treat, then whizzing off again. It's a fun day, a tradition activity, and a nice time to be together and talk and work. Everyone had a job, everyone stuck with it, and everyone felt good about the results. We made a point of delivering most of the 18 pies we made for me and Kent because we certainly don't have room to freeze and store 18 pies, and we were happy to spread a little Christmas cheer.
Mom quartered and peeled close to 100 apples.
Tysen and Lyla, with a bit of help from Cora, sliced them all.
Ava and Luke made crust and filled,
and eventually Makenna helped fill, too.
I was the crust roller.
I only had to reroll twice.
