Happy Thanksgiving!

I've never liked pumpkin pie.  I know that goes against "all things Thanksgiving", that you're supposed to like pumpkin or squash in some form, but I never have.

So it would stand to reason that my daughter loves all things pumpkin:  pumpkin bread, pumpkin roll, etc.  You name it, she likes it.  Pumpkin pie is her favorite.  So for the last few turkey days, even though I won't eat a bite, I have been found in the kitchen baking a pumpkin pie.

I took the pie out of the oven last night around 8:30 and set it on top of the range to cool for two hours (per directions.)  Fred and I were around the house, but not exactly in the kitchen.  And that's when she struck.

I know, she looks all innocent & sleepy.  That's because she's sleeping off the pumpkin pie!  (To be honest, she didn't exactly eat the pie---rather, just licked the top.  Still very gross, whichever way you look at it.)

And here is the pumpkin pie:

And we were singin'

Bye, bye Jewel's pumpkin pie!

You were pretty, then Cree licked you

making Jewel cry.

But Momma cut a tiny piece on the sly,

So little girl can have a taste of her pie.

(I know---cheesy!  I couldn't help it.)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  May your day be spent with those you love, reflecting on the good things we've been given.
