the kids and i drove to utah a few days before thanksgiving so we could help my mom prepare. i enjoyed cooking with my mom and learning how to make some of the traditional things we eat at thanksgiving. i loved watching my mom give the kids a pie lesson. my mom makes fantastic pies and she prides herself on her flaky crust. she was trying to demonstrate, but max took over and wouldn't let go.... i am thankful for treasured moments like these, and cherry pie--kai's favorite!
