Every Thanksgiving, one of my sons takes on the job of making the pumpkin pies. He loves making pumpkin pies and to this day, he is the official pumpkin pie baker. Several weeks before the big day, he reminds me to get all of the ingredients. The kids were have early release from school the day before Thanksgiving, so after he arrived home from school, he started on the pie making. He would bake pie after pie. One year, he made 18 pumpkin pies, one for each person attending that Thanksgiving meal!
