Happy PI Day!

PI Day has become one of my favorite holidays.  It is uncomplicated by rituals, obligations, or traditions.
Last night we hosted our 3rd annual PI Party.  We had lots and lots of pie, even pizza pie this year.  We invited everyone that we could think of, and about half of them came. This year friends from Kenneth's work brought a PI cake and some terrific PI Cube trays...

A glimpse of the PI spread near the beginning of the evening.
The PI cake this morning.

PI Cubes anyone?

The best part of the day was the the afternoon cook-off.  After spending the morning cleaning, we went to the pool for a little swim and then the cooking began in ernest.  Christian made a Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza. Truman made Triple Berry Pie, Syd made her signature cherry pie.  She said "I don't care for the cherries very much.  I just like to do the lattice, it is so pretty".  Abigail made Cheese Burger Pizza. Rebekah made Grasshopper pie.  Nate made an Apple Pie. And Hazel and Kenneth worked together to make a Pumpkin Pie (I think Hazel ate half of it).
