Prairie's Pi Birthday

Prairie with her pies

Prairie pi years old!

Priarie was 3.14159 years old on Sunday June 28th. We celebrated with some family and friends. For our main dish we had pizza pie (one with pepperoni, and one with cheese but with pineapples for the pi, also I used fresh mozzarella chesse which was sooo good).

Then I made 6 dessert pies (I somehow missed a closeup picture of the strawberry rhubarb pie), which were so yummy, but we had so much leftovers! Two of our friends brought over pies too, so we had tons of pies.

Key Lime pie, recipe taken from Cafe Johnsonia

Oreo pie (oreo crust, with vanilla pudding and whip cream with crushed oreos)

Lucy pie ( a favorite from growning up, it is a cream cheese and whip cream pie) with blackberries as topping

Coconut cream pie, with toasted coconut for the pi symbol

and a pumpkin pie per Janardan's request, and the pi birthday celebration was Janardan's idea.

When Autumn turned 3, Janardan (my sister's husband) asked if we were going to celebrate Autumn's pi birthday. We had never thought about it, but thought it sounded like a lot of fun. Now it is a tradtion we are planning on, to celebrate each of our children's pi birthdays. This time Janardan asked when Autumn would be 2pi years old, and I told him I was done with one pi birthday per kid.

Prairie was really into her pi birthday. She loved all the pies. Though she did ask where her cake was for her birthday, she didn't completely understand that this was a birthday with no cake. At church that day she kept telling everybody that she was pi years old, it was pretty funny.
