I think it's official: I am incapable of being photographed without at least one piece of hair falling into my face. It's like my trademark.
Addy takes her baking very seriously.

Jim's mom, crimping the top of the crust over the apple pies.

Can you send one of those pies this way? We're just about out of Thanksgiving desserts. :)
yum-o!
They look great and this post has confirmed for me that the only part of pie-making I'm interested in is the wine-drinking part. I think I would make an excellent pie-making cheerleader, however.
Very nice!!
of course, your MIL can make about anything!!! It looks like you and Addy did a gerrrate job!!
Holy pies, Batman!
You all are too, too cute!
I agree with the commenter above: too cute!
um, and dude... I want some pie.
addy's shirt (dress?) is adorabe! if it's a sweater, how do you manage to get her wearing things other than pink and/or dresses? my nearly 4 year od daughter is a dress fiend.
I'm impressed with the pies! and you rock the pigtails :) (i wear 'em too :)
The pies are gorgeous! Mmmm.
Wait, does that little mat MEASURE THE CRUST for you? GENIUS!
Ooh, I didn't notice the mat until Tess' comment. Cool. Must get one. Wait, I don't bake. Carry on!
