Thanksgiving Care Package

I asked my husband: What is your one favorite thing that you eat at Thanksgiving?  Of course, he said, "pumpkin pie."  At first, I thought to myself, "How in the world am I going to send him that?"  Well, thanks to a couple of YouTube tutorials and my aunt-in-law, we successfully made him pumpkin pie in a jar!

 

We made a simple homemade pie crust and then smushed it down into each of the jars.  It took quite a lot of time and effort, but it was so worth it.  Well, at least, I hope it was.  He has not told me if the pumpkin pie was any good or not yet, but, when he does, I'll let y'all know!


Of course, I had to send him more than just pumpkin pie!  So, I gathered up a list of things and headed to the grocery store.  I decided to make him "Thanksgiving in a box" by giving him things that he may eat for Thanksgiving dinner.  The "turkey," stuffing, macaroni and mashed potatoes were the best that I could find.

 However, he was the most excited about the popcorn ball.  I guess I did something right!
