Hymas' Little Moments: Pie Night

This is the coolest Thanksgiving tradition ever. Only I never want to host it and hope we're always just invited over to my friend Kristi's house because she made 10 pies for the occasion! So everyone brings a pie and we all eat and sample a gazillion different pies the night before Thanksgiving. Heaven! That way our stomachs are stretched out for the big day AND we got to eat lots and lots of pie that usually I'm too full for. Happiness! Thanks Johnson family for this new tradition!

Speaking of pies, Sierra's been baking up a storm! She made these beauties this past week. Delicious!

Funny Things to Remember this Week

After a lengthy discussion with Karsten about college and why it's so important and great, he readily agreed college sounds pretty great. Then I asked him what he was going to study when he went to college. Incredulously he said, "WHAT?! You have to STUDY?"
Karsten gave the prayer for the Christmas dinner. In it he said, "And thank you that everyone in the family was nice and no one got any coal."
When I asked Karsten if he had been good or bad, he replied both. When I asked him what he had done that was bad he immediately responded without pausing or thinking, "I hit and whined and cried and yelled and punched and kicked." When I asked him how he was good he said, "I said please and thank you." I can see why he might be worried.
Karsten was so worried on Christmas Eve about getting coal that he couldn't go to sleep. He finally decided to make the best of a given situation because he reported to Sierra, "It's ok. I want coal. It'll keep me warm."
"I hope I don't get in trouble at school today." (Karsten on his second day of kindergarten.)
"I was rude but I wasn't super rude. Super rude is if I killed Aspen. So can I play Wii?" Karsten (5)
