This year we finally got to make apple butter again! In the past our grandparents (dad's side) have made apple butter every fall, and it is always a looked forward to event. They haven't made apple butter in about 5 years though and so we were really happy when they decided to make it again (it is sooo good).
One thing about apple butter is you have to stir it at all times, and it cooks for about 12 hours!
Here is some pictures of every one stirring:
Bradley needed some help. :) (it is pretty hard to stir)
While we were stirring all the little kids had lots of fun playing together.
Can you tell Bradley likes to spy?
This is Elijah's favorite toy. It looks like a no no (that's what we call things he not supposed to touch), it makes noise and you can push buttons. :)
These two picture are so cute!
This is his serious face and it is seriously cute.
At around 4:00 we dumped the sugar and cinnamon in and let it dissolve for a while.
More stirring
After it was all done cooking the men moved to pot and we all roasted smores!
Yum

After eating smores and dinner all of the women and older girls started canning the apple butter. I didn't get any pictures of that process because I was busy canning. After canning we all ate a delicious dinner and dessert and then just relaxed after a busy and fun day.
To God be the Glory,
Heather
