Pecan Picking

The girls and I had a great time at my parents this afternoon picking pecans, playing, and drinking hot chocolate.

This is one of the girls bags. Some of the pecans still have the shells on them.

I've always wanted to have a pecan tree ... it's so nice to be able to go out and just pick them up from the yard.

Do you make pecan pie with them?

Donielle, I love, love, love your new header picture! We have some pecan trees around the farm, but they haven't done to well this year. Mrs. Pinky is the pecan picker-upper...lol

Speaking of...Mrs. Pinky, I need some pecans! lol

Thank you all about the header picture...I finally figured out how to add a pic there. About the pecans, nobody in my family, including me likes pecans or pecan pie. We were picking them for some friends at church. My mom said their trees haven't done well this year either. We weren't able to get many big pecans from the backyard, but there were quite a few little ones in the front. My mom says the little ones are sweeter. Let me know if someone wants any, I'm sure the kids would love to pick some more.

Tina~I made that same statement last night that I would love to have some of Mama's Pecan Pie! That is one recipe of hers that I cannot find. I have her chocolate chess pie recipe that she always had at holidays, but the pecan pie one must have been in her head.
