Here's the Peeps story:
A couple of years ago, Wes and I were visiting Austin and Shawna in College Station. As we were chatting about anything and everything, our conversation turned to "liked" and "disliked" foods. Come to find out, Wes and Shawna like a lot of the same kinds of foods. So, Wes was just sure that Shawna would love the Peeps marshmallow treats. You know, those nasty yellow marshmallow chicks and bunnies that come out every Easter? Those things are some of Wes' very favorites.
After our meal, we hunted around several stores until we found the Peeps. Shawna took one bite and decided very quickly that those were not for her! Wes couldn't believe it! They enjoyed so many of the same tastes....but evidently not Peeps!
But Shawna has not let Wes down! Now, at EVERY holiday, Wes gets at least one package of Peeps. At Easter it's the chicks or bunnies......4th of July - firework Peeps......Christmas - tree Peeps! There are Peeps for every holiday now.
So, Shawna is teaching the tradition to Ashlynn, who gave her Granddaddy some Christmas tree Peeps for Christmas....and guess what? She loves them! I see many Peeps in their future!
What a fun tradition to start with Ashlynn! That is so cool that Ashlynn likes to eat Peeps with Granddad! I used to eat Limburger cheese with my dad at Christmas - YUK! Glad you are feeding Ashlynn sugar and not stinky cheese!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! That is a tradition that will be so meaningful to Ashlynn and Granddaddy. I remember Stephanie and my dad and their tradition of Limburger cheese. Glad I wasn't included in that one. ha ha
