Half the fun of Thanksgivng is the preparation. The children had a great time peeling, chopping and mashing the potatoes.

Learning how to peel potatoes
Luke getting some tips
A fast learner
Emily
This might take awhile
Leah looks like an expert
Abigail watching closely
Close observation paid off
Julia

Olivia¡¯s turn
¡°How did I do?¡±
¡°What is the next step?¡±
My turn!
This is fun.
I did it all by myself
Chopping the peeled potatoes
Putting them in the pot to boil.
A watched pot never boils
Finally¡­.now we can
mash them
How did they get so soft?
Cheryl mashing
Many hands makes light work
Boy this is hard work- will it be worth it?
Luke
Emily adding milk
Julia beating with a beater- this is easier
Taste testing
The best part is licking the beater
It was worth the hard work Mmmm!
Mashed potatoes
Can we do this everyday?
