Thanksgiving Day took us down to my cousin’s house at lunch for a small get together with my dad’s side of the family. My sister & I divided up making the desserts – I tackled the pie side making 2 Dutch apple pies & a pumpkin cheesecake (see my funny cheesecake story down below). My sister made a couple of “kid friendly” desserts, including brownies-on-a-stick. I had found a recipe for them online & they were a huge hit with both kids & adults! My boys LOVED them!

** Pumpkin Cheesecake story **
The day before Thanksgiving, Cory was hunting so I took the afternoon off to get a head start on making my pies. I got just the apple pies done before going to pick up the boys from daycare, so they were excited to help me out making the pumpkin cheesecake when we got home. (They both love helping mommy in the kitchen!) I avoided the first potential disaster when Wyatt poured half of my sugar container into the bowl…luckily there was only packed brown sugar in the bowl at the time, so I was able to save it. The last step of making our cheesecake was to add in cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice – I turned my back for one second to open the pumpkin pie spice container – when Colton grabbed the cinnamon & dumped the entire container into the bowl – BIG MESS!!!! This mishap was unrecoverable because by this point the cream cheese had been mixed in so the cinnamon was stuck everywhere & there was no scrapping it off. A quick call to my Dad, who was just getting off of work, helped save our night with a new batch of cream cheese & cinnamon delivered to our door. The boys did help again with the second “try”, but this time, out of reach of any ingredients until they were ready to go in!
