Suddenly Connor is showing more interests in baking and cooking.  He wanted to make some gingerbread cookies from scratch.  He found a recipe; we made it twice and he was proud of how they turned out. 

      Then for Thanksgiving, he would like to help out.  He made us a pumpkin pie while I made a chocolate pecan pie.  Then I made the turkey and Connor helped me with all the side dishes.  He set up the table and we had a wonderful meal.  We are thankful for a peaceful and lovely holiday together.
