LEMONS!!!

As the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons you make lemonade, right? Well in this case the best I could come up with was lemon pie, it seemed more appropriate for the season. It's tradition for us to have lemon meringue pie for Thanksgiving. My grandma Bub made the best. The first year Greg had it he couldn't believe it. It was the best he'd ever had. I know mine wasn't as good as Bub's but at least I tried. I then made another plain lemon pie that totally got ruined and so I had to make another one. I guess it was just par for the week. Life has given us some big ugly lemons this week but we know that we will get through it and we will be blessed. It just brought everything that is really important in life to the top of the list.

The turkey butter that my mother was so proud of.

Oh yeah, and by the end of the night, Little C man puked all over me. IT was a great way to end the day. He hasn't thrown up since but I think he got everything out of his body with this puke.
