Cookie Monster, Pie Crust and an awesome Thanksgiving!

After eating dinner at my sister, Alanna's house, she offered some delicious cookies. My kids each had 2 throughout the night and when we were leaving Saryn asked for her second one. Jarett gave it to her and then Kaia asked

"Can I have my second cookie, too?"
"No, you've already had yours....."
"No I haven't!"
"Yes you did! (Kaia looking super embarassed) Why would you ask for your second when I KNOW that you've already had it?"
"Well, I didn't KNOW that you knew that."


Granted, the floor isn't a great place for a bag of bread.....but when the kids are no where around it's where it was put when the groceries were brought in. Kienna was walking around the kitchen in a path that would lead no where NEAR the bread, but when she saw it, she went over and stamped right in the middle of it. Just irresistible, I suppose. "Kienna, why would you do that?" "I don't know" (Anyone seen Bill Cosby "Himself"?!?)

Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL. Jarett turned 32 on Saturday! We had an incredible dinner at a Greek Restaurant in Calgary that just opened, Peki (it's where Santa Fe Grill used to be). I highly recommend the roast lamb that is there. We watched a couple movies over the weekend. My little nephew was blessed on Sunday and we had dinner at Alanna's house. Her in-laws, the Moodys, were there and it was so great to talk to them. They have recently returned from being mission president in Baltimore and are just incredible people. It was great to see them again. Monday was Thanksgiving Dinner and most of the day was dedicated to making it. It was fun to have just me and my mom in the kitchen for some of it. I got to make my first pie crust and make lots of rolls with Kienna and Saryn helping (I really was quite impressed with how good their rolls turned out). After dinner, pie and some fun conversation, we had to leave and head back to Edmonton. So sad.....but it was a GREAT weekend.

Sorry for the picture overload.....I MAY have gone a little picture happy (shocking, I know)!
