9 days left of Thanksgiving...365 days to Pie Night...

The Morrison Family 4th Annual Pie Night is now in the history books. 

And what a night it was!  But before I tell you anything about the pies of the people, I have to share what I received via text at 11:40am from my son-in-law, K.  I have said for a couple of years now that Pie Night is one of the holiest nights of the year, since there really just isn't any other night of the year quite like it.  Remember when I said that one of K's gifts to this world is humor?

 

And what else is a mother-in-law to do but send this back about noon?

 



 

Don't you just love the creative process?  One person records a lick (that's musician talk there) and then another person gets down the next lyric until before you know it, you have this. 

 

A singing anyone? 

 

And this.  Is how traditions get born.

 

Now for the pies and the people!

 

Double - er...quintuple French Silk anyone?

 

Ah...Tiramisu...velvet Kahlua on the tongue...

 

Biggest surprise of the night.  This Grand Marnier Pecan Pie.  Keeper.  Definite keeper. Even one young man who doesn't normally like pecan pie was wonderfully surprised.  Do it!

Our Fruit pies for the year...

I might have stuck my hand in this apple pie....walking quietly away...

Little People!!!  Shall we dance?

This appears to be the only pic of the Grape Pie I managed to capture - the rectangle one in the middle.  Surprisingly tasty bit of drunk grapes with salted caramel.

More little people!  This one spent a great deal of time understanding the mechanics of the car seat.  Heady stuff, I tell ya.

And yea...little people...even one only about 2 months old.  This may or may not have been the first time J-man noticed his mama holding another little one.  Wait?  What?  No!  She's MY mama!!!

The whole gang!  The 2013 Morrison Family!



And this is proof that we are now officially the Morrison Family Pie Night.  P-dub said so. 

 

I have got to close and get pies packed up to take to work.  Have I mentioned how much people where I work love pie night, too?  Pie Night always has to be on a school night so I can take the leftovers into work the next day.  If the employee handbook had a section on location specific benes, I think the argument could be made that Pie Night leftovers is a location specific bene for The 8515.

 

Happy Pie Night everyone!  I love creativity!  And am thankful for it!!!
