Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was spent with Brian's family this year. We had fun sleeping over at Pop's and Grandma's house with all the kids and Aunt Katie. I had the opportunity to learn how to make pie crusts from scratch so I could teach the ladies at Enrichment Night. I had never even attempted to think about making a pie let alone teach how to make one. But, I just got done giving a talk in sacrament about finding our talents and gifts so I decided to take on the challenge of public speaking and expanding my recipe box. Brian got told how well I did he decided to put me charge of making my very first Apple Pies for Thanksgiving. They turned out pretty yummy. I was kind of impressed with myself. I had a lot of pressure on my shoulders since I had to live up to Aunt Meribeth's famous Apple Pies. I didn't quiet make it there because I used green apples and her secret ingredient are Golden Delicious apples. I'll make sure to make note of that for next year. All in all we had a blast four-wheeling, eating and enduring the 20 minutes of family pictures for Christmas cards.
