Pecan Pickin' Party

On Saturday, December 1st, my mother in-law and Sara's uncle Steve visited us so they could take advantage of the pecans our five pecan trees produced this year. They also got some black walnuts our Black Walnut tree produced.

The Pecan Pickin' Party allowed me to get the leaf blower out so the pecans would be easier to find. Which made a nice pile of leaves for the boys to play.

Below are some of the great images Sara captured of the day.

This above picture of my mother in-law is her searching for pecans. I hope I'm still in good graces after posting this picture

Parker really seemed to have a lot of fun playing in the leaf pile. Sara captured lots of really great pictures of Parker.

Kallsen, on the other hand, decided to not look at the camera or to hide. We didn't capture as many of him, but here's one that I really like.

This last picture is the only one of the boys together that turned out.

Pecans

The above pecans were picked off the ground under one of my three pecan trees I have in the yard. The boys (Kallsen & Parker) helped me pick them up and enjoyed the pecans.

In this first picture Kallsen is working at getting the pecan out of the shell. At first he didn't want to try the pecans but once he got a taste, it was like it became his favorite food of all time.

You can also see in this picture that Kallsen's hair is coming back. And that he is focused on getting his prize.
Parker has his hand out for a pecan Momma helped the boys with taking

the shell off of the pecans. After Momma took the pecans inside the boys continued to find pecans and asked me to crack the shell for them. I was using my hands to crack the shells and I tell you this...my hands hurt.

We decided to pick pecans for their Nana. We're going to Nana and Poppa's for Thanksgiving on Thursday and we thought the pecans picked from our own yard we be a nice gift for Nana.
