Shabbat Dinner

Last night the girls helped me make dinner. I was roasting a whole chicken, and they were fascinated by the big raw bird. Sophie had fun sprinkling the salt, pepper and garlic on the chicken, and both girls had fun "patting" and "massaging" the seasoning into the skin. After a very long hand-washing session, the girls continued to help by "cutting" the potatoes for the mashed potatoes. After lighting the Shabbat candles, we sat down for a yummy meal, and the girls ate up (pun intended) all the compliments from mommy about their cooking skills.
