Homemade Chicken Potpie

 I just thought this was fun. . . how many three month olds do you know who slumber while their sister sings Les Miserables to them?!
Hani and Bekah are busy getting the veggies ready for the pot pie!

Yummy, I am going to make that. However, I am not sure I can make a recipe that calls for 3 pounds of Crisco! :O)
