The Clan McKinnon

I was a big help to Grandma with making the pumpkin pies.  Eve helped stir the mix.  I also got to stir - with a little help. Then it was time to play. But, where did Eve go?  Oh, there she is! I have to put the top back on! It was a wonderful family holiday!

I made name tags so everyone could have a place at the table. Starting at top row, there was Gavin, Diana, Eve - those are pretty obvious. The middle row starts with Donna, Dad (by now you might have noticed that I fill in my D's and other similar letters) and a P for Papa Joe. The last row has a G for Grandma, then John and Mom. Thanksgiving morning, Diana helped me make hand turkeys!

I started the day by going grocery shopping with Mommy to prepare for Thanksgiving. I found a chocolate turkey that would be perfect for the holiday. After swim class, Mommy dropped me off at school. She found John with his buddies Thomas and August - the Three Musketeers - doing silly things of course. Finally, after school, it was time for my first hair cut! Well, really it was just a trim to even out the back of my hair, but it was my official first haircut - at almost 4 years old! And I wanted my hair back in a pony tail afterwards!

Step 1: Mash bananas Step 2: Mix in sugar and other stuff Step 3: Grease pan Step 4: Pour mix in pan Step 5: (Not pictured) Devour fresh banana bread!

Mommy was able to capture a picture of me with my good friends JiYou and Katherine - days before JiYou left to go on 3 planes to move to Portugal. I will miss seeing her in class!

Celebrating Grandma's birthday with a new purple iPad cover - that Eve picked out of course. It was a fun birthday celebration! Grandma got a special birthday sundae. She needed some help to finish it off. Good thing she had Eve and I there!

Even in the colder weather, we still have fun at the Big House!
