Giving thanks for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is always a good time for the Craft family. Food, football, and feeling fat are always welcome around me. Today started off like most Thanksgivings, we slept in, i played some football with friends, and my beautiful wife started to make a pumpkin pie to bring down for our family dinner. After sitting in the oven for 50 minutes the pie was pulled out and in all of it's glory rested as we prepared to head down to San Clemente.


Since we got married my wife has been practicing her cooking and she has definitely gotten better. This Pie smelled amazing!
We let the pie sit for a few minutes and then it was time to head down to the Trumbo house. We got into the car and as i got ready to start the car i look over at my wife. As if it were in slow motion, I watched helplessly as the pie slid off of her lap and onto the floor/side panel of my car. As her eyes welled up with tears i tried to act quick and salvage what was left of the pumpkin pie. It is a shame that i am not a pie surgeon because with the heat and position there was nothing i could do for the innocent pie. Megan's efforts...down the drain...
After a few minutes of despair we sucked it up and decided to try and make another one at her parents house. The day had a happy ending with a pumpkin pie intact and a lot of good food eaten.

Eat safe.
