applesauce day

These are the kind of days I will remember forever... Days when the blessing of a grandma, mother-in-law and mom come together to help with a big project that would be overwhelming for me to do myself. So thankful for their help and so thankful for the joy they brought to our home that day. I wish I could bottle up the wonderful smell of apples cooking on the stove that filled my house that day.
So thankful for how they love on my children and are eager to hold them. So thankful for their patience with them...taking time to teach them new things. Great Grandma patiently sat with Kaiya when she got home from preschool and helped her with writing her numbers. So thankful for the sweet conversations with Great Grandma about my pregnancy and the stories she shared about her pregnancies.
Baby Luca even got to help a bit.
So thankful that my freezer is full of the delicious applesauce we made that day.

Yummy! Looks like some cinnamon applesauce. Love how the apples match your kitchen. :) :) Good memories. We had many years of great memories of grandparents helping with applesauce. One year we did 5 bushels!! By now~our kids beg to help so we do it on a Saturday...and get everyone involved. It's so fun!

Guatmama...Yep...we added red hots to half of the sauce to make the pink sauce a cinnamon flavor...it's our favorite.

Heather...We've also enjoyed taking a Saturday to make the sauce over the past two years and have gotten everyone involved including dads and kids. That's a lot of fun!
