Gobble, gobble, gobble
It is so much more fun to bake a pecan pie with the help of your 6-year-old granddaughter then it is to bake that pie alone! Amara spent the night with us last night and this morning was Thanksgiving project time! We had three projects planned. The first was to make the pecan pie that [...]
