Thanksgiving 2009

Like last year, we were fortunate to celebrate Thanksgiving twice. We enjoyed both celebrations, but it didn't help my wasteline :(.

Dylan was such a great helper this past week leading up to the festivities. On Wednesday, he patiently accompanied Mia and I on a visit to Whole "paycheck" Foods. He helped place items in the grocery cart and made sure that we got a few snacks too. On Thanksgiving, he helped me measure and pour in the ingredients for the desserts and unloaded the dishwasher. While we ended up with slightly more flour in the crust than the recipe called for, dessert still came out great. Then on Friday, he helped me vacuum the 2nd floor and under the couch cushions. Kind of sounds like child labor. but surprisingly he offers to help. I'm sure that it won't last long, so might as well take advantage of it now.
Enjoying sparkling apple cider way too much...
Mia's first Thanksgiving...
(with those cheeks you'd think she's been eating a few high-calorie thanksgiving meals too)
