Scott was gone last week, so my niece Abby came over Friday night and spent the night at our house. Abby and I watched "How to Train Your Dragon" and ate pizza, then Abby went to bed and I waited up for Scott to get home (aka: slept on the sofa until about 1am when Scott came in).
On Saturday morning Abby requested bacon, so we had bacon and eggs. Then Abby and I went to the store to get stuff for Thanksgiving, and Scott spent the day outside raking up leaves.
I had to make a pie for the pie auction at our church, and Abby helped! We made a pear cranberry pie with a pastry cream on the inside. I really wish I could have tasted it, as it was a new recipe! Here is Abby rolling out the top pie crust (you can see the bottom of the pie and the filling behind her)
And here she is pinching the edges. She had never made a pie before!
Finally, brushing the top with milk and putting slits in it.
This was a beautiful pie--Good job, Abby! I will have to ask the family that bought it at the auction how it tasted.
After our baking excitement, Abby and I put up the Christmas tree and all the decorations. It was great to have her around for a couple days!

I know I've said it before, but I think it is totally awesome that you do special things with your nieces. They will someday cherish those special moments individually with you!
