The Newson Family has a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving Tradition, a pie per person. The idea is that if you have a pie per person the pie will last through the weekend to Monday (that is being eaten breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert). This year we had Jeremy and his family come from Utah, Uncle Kent dropped in for a surprise visit and we had some family friends over. In total we had 22 people (including Malcome who is 2 months old). There were naysayers who doubted our pie making abilities but on Thanksgiving we had 25 PIES!! That is right a quarter of a century worth of pie, a pie for each of my years since birth and MORE pies than people. One of the friends visiting brought a pie with a NPF carved into the top; he said it stood for Newson Pie Festival. We all thought Newson Pie Freaks or Newson Pie Fiasco might have been more suitable.
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I brought Hannah, Jared and Aimee over to our place to make pies. Each of them made their own pudding pie and then while the one fruit pie was baking we played Settlers and relaxed; it was so much fun. I forgot to get A LOT of stuff from the store so some of the pies weren’t perfect but they still tasted and looked great. Hannah made a pistachio/chocolate pie, Jared made a peanut butter/chocolate pie and Aimee made a Chocolate/Heath Bar pie. I made (with Aimee’s help) an apple pie and later made a caramel pumpkin pie.
