A Daughter in the Kitchen

 
Today I was trying to get some food preparation done for tomorrow.  Elizabeth was everywhere!  Wanting to be held and in every way slowing the process down!  In the middle of trying to "shoo" her away, I realized that my most fond memories of Thanksgiving are not the feast itself, but being in the kitchen with my mom.
For me, Thanksgiving is all about mothers and daughters in the kitchen. 
I realized that really this is the first of what I hope and pray are many years of sharing the kitchen with a daughter of my own.  I'm so grateful for happy memories with my mom and grateful for a daughter that's already a "helper" and friend to share the holiday with.

How fun! I remember being in the kitchen with my mom, too. Mostly eating the leftover pie crusts with cinnamon and sugar. :) Miles spent about 5 hours yesterday playing in our kitchen sink and I remember Sophie doing it all the time at the trailer court. It's a great cold weather activity! Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving!
