I love Thanksgiving! I remember my Mom always making these bread cornucopia's and than we would fill the little ones with candy runts. I decided to make a big one for a center piece on my kitchen table. I also made a bunch of little ones for my scout boys and than a few extra.
This turned into almost an entire day process with all the stopping and starting I did, to tend to this child or feed baby Lu. But it was so fun and I wish I would have taken a picture of the kids with flour on their cheeks rolling the dough. We make a good amount of dough around here. Wether it is pizza dough, cookie dough, rolls dough. So they love getting the flour out and using the rolling pin.
I love working with them in the kitchen by my side! Well I should say I love it on the days where I have the time to be patient and I am not in a hurry.
I am hoping this helps them want to be their helping and talking and laughing by my side when they are older too.
Here is how the bread turned out.
Oh just a little side note story for me to remember. The kids did lose interest after awhile in our craft. So they were all watching a movie. I had Lucy on the floor for some tummy time. She definitely had no interest in that and was screaming. Well I watched as Dailey my little girl who takes care of everyone. Got up from the couch and kept putting her binki back in Lucy's mouth. When that didn't work she got her toys and set them all out in front of her. Trying to calm her down, all while trying to still watch her movie. It was so dang sweet it brought tears to my eyes. Don't worry. Cole just ran to the computer screen to turn up the volume! ha. ha.
