A Pie You Say?

Today I got the urge to make pie. Strawberry pie to be exact. But when it comes to baking I can always use the helping hands of little miss Lex. The kid is a whiz in the kitchen....as long as you don't have raw cookie dough. If there is any type of cookie dough involved you will get nothing accomplished!!!

But since today's task did not require cookie dough I knew we were safe. It did how ever require some decisions on her part. I thought since it is so close to Easter and all we should make Easter Pies.

Being the very opinionated child she is quickly shot it down and went and found my bucket o' cookie cutters. (Seriously...I have upwards of 120 cookie cutters). She picked out the ones we were using since these were HER pies and she was being nice enough to help and make some for her brother.

She floured the dough and then cut out all her shapes.

I filled them and pressed them sealed for her since she isn't a big fan of getting "icky"

And then we had our heart and airplane strawberry pies!

Needless to say Kaiden was very happy about his surprise when he got up from his nap.
