Mommy woke up and began the traditional Thanksgiving Day routine. Cook, clean, cook, clean, eat, clean, then go for some dessert! The dessert is the best part of Thanksgiving, aside from being with your family of course. Leyton is quite the helper these days. He walks around while I'm doing chores and says "Help Mommy?" He wants to be in on the action at all times. I try to think of some easy tasks he can help me with, so he feels accomplished and I feel like I'm teaching him something new and of interest to him. Hopefully one day he will have better cooking abilites then Daddy. (hehe) Leyton's role was to hand Mommy the fresh green beans for the casserole out of the colander, I snapped each ends then Leyton got to throw the remains in the sink disposal. He enjoyed every minute of it. He loved the cripsy onions that went on top. But who doesn't?! All in all Thanksgiving was a fun-filled times with family, and those we love the most.

Leyton went off to Daddy's in his stylish homemade Turkey Day shirt made by his little hand print and yours truly. He wanted nothing to do with the shirt, but bribbing him with a lollypop got him to wear it. Ahh.. the tricks you learn as a parent.
