My kids helped with Thanksgiving dinner, too. Ds2 tore the bread for stuffing(he's 2, and I think he ate more than he got into the bowl lol). Ds1 helped by scrubbing the potatoes, pouring the pumpkin into the pie shell, etc. I let him baste the bird a few times, too, but he was afraid of the hot oven. He had more fun the day after, making turkey sandwiches for everyone
.
I'll probably make them a cookbook, too. Ds2 asked what a recipe is(noticed I was reading while cooking). I told him it was directions for cooking--he thought it was silly. Evidently, we're supposed to just throw stuff into the pan lolol!!
