I've spent this Wednesday, prep day, swatting away six eater hands from homemade pies and repeating "I know it looks great, but this is for tomorrow" more times then I can remember. But its all good. As each year passes there will be less swatting and more room for eager kids wanting to partake in holiday preparation, just not this year.
I am so very grateful for a lot of things this year including grateful that I am grateful for what I have.
