2012, the Year of the Pie

Thanksgiving is generally a low-key holiday for us Utah Obermarks.  No out of town guests, no turkey to cook for hours upon end.  Mostly a lot of relaxing and enjoying one another.  We watch snippets of the parade, we stroll through our neighborhood.  We also all get a say on the menu for the day.

This year James was insistent that we make a pumpkin pie.  Here he is patting down the "crust" - almond meal mixed with a little butter and sugar - and stirring the filling.

Here is James with his finished pie.  Doesn't he look so proud?  I totally adore this little boy.
