This year I was determined to make all of the sides and pies ahead of time in an attempt to avoid the last minute scramble. The girls were excited to help with whatever I would allow. They sat on the floor to help me add all of the ingredients and stir, their favorite part. Taylor was very patient with Hayden and we had a great time. I decided to challenge them with peeling eggs. Taylor actually peeled about 12 eggs... Hayden peeled one and ate it. After Hayden went to bed Taylor and I made a pumpkin and cream cheese pie and another pecan pie. I got the brilliant idea to let her sit on the counter, under close supervision, to help. We had all of the ingredients ready to go into the pie shell when the pecan pie filling fell off the counter and onto the floor...what a mess! We started over. Later she helped Brady make a pretzel salad. Taylor was so proud of her yummy dishes! Both of the girls were really excited for Uncle Zach to arrive on Thanksgiving!
