Thanksgiving preparations.

Thanksgiving has got to be one of my favorite holidays. I have never actually cooked a Thanksgiving dinner but I enjoy preparing what I have to contribute. This year we made 4 dozen rolls, 6 dozen cookies and a pumpkin pie. I have never made a pumpkin pie before but thought it would be fun to do. I even thought it would be fun to start from a pumpkin instead of buying the canned pumpkin. We never got around to carving Ashley's pumpkin so I thought we should do something with it. She was all excited to finally do something with it. I had every one's help to clean it out. Ashley wasn't too sure about it but she helped. After baking the pumpkin and getting it all prepared Madison and Ashley lost interest and Allison was the only one around to help finish it. Allison worked very hard at helping me make the pie look pretty. It was so much fun to watch her work. I have never seen this meticulous side of her before. I think it turned out pretty nice. It looks pretty but we will have to wait and see how it tastes till tomorrow.
