Here Eddie is helping to make the Banana Pudding Pie we had for desert on Thanksgiving (and it lasted 3 nights more).
And here he is exercising 'cook's perogative'...
Den says he donned this hat when he picked Ed up from preschool last week and that it got quite a few chuckles...no kidding?
Knowing that Den would be traveling a lot during the month of December, I was determined to get as much Christmas-season related stuff out of the way...and boy this is certainly the way I want it to play out in future years.
We bought our live tree (the first since I've known Den) from a local non-profit community group and the kids eagarly decorated it. I wish I could say Den and I enjoyed ourselves as much as the kids, but neither of us appears to enjoy decorating the tree.
Truth be told, if it weren't for the kids, we wouldn't have much decorations any time of year.
This year I bought 12+ boxes of LED colored lights to decorate the outside of the house with. We put up a couple strands the other night in 60 degree weather and when Den gets home, he grudgingly will figure out how to get them into our 25 foot tall prickly holly. I think that tree will come down in the spring if not before....
We're are pretty much 95% decorated. We have come to enjoy the 4-5 days at home for Thanksgiving as a chance to get a jump start on the Holiday craziness and relax with the kids.
If only we could get 3-4 days at home to just knock out the 'to do' list...
