One of the things I love most about being a 'Bennett' is the great importance the put on traditions. I grew up in a family that is BIG on traditions. Still to this day our whole family has an apple pie making day, goes to Palm Springs in the spring and always watches White Christmas during the holidays a few times. When I married into this family I was a bit nervous that they'd think I was a bit over the top with my constant desire to continue these traditions and create new ones. Thank the Lord they were game for everything!
My Mother in law is an incredible cook! She is queen of whipping up an amazing meal with whatever is in her fridge. I myself spend hours researching recipes, then go to the market to buy all my ingredients. Then drag myself home to prepare dinner which NEVER looks like the picture and usually takes double the amount of time Martha said it would. :) Discovering my inner 'stay at home mom' has been an adventure this year! Making home made bread, cards and curtains does not come naturally to this woman but I truly am enjoying this new challenge. That all said, I'm blessed to have a mother and mother in law that are experts in these fields.
One of the great Bennett traditions is making home made perogies. It's a lot of work but boy is it worth it! I understand why the Mennonite women love getting together to partake in this timeless tradition! The conversation is easy and the laughter is plentiful!!! We had an amazing time together and the perogies were so yummy.
Farmer sausage is the perfect side dish!
I think Chase at 2 or 3 himself!!! He loved them!
These two were so cute in their purple outfits I just had to add this picture! I love spending time with them...I always learn so much. Billy sure has passed down some interesting traits to these boys.
