First Cheesecake

Lilah is a wonderful stage....she LOVES to help!  We hear "Help You" quite frequently.  I haven't done much baking in the past few years, but she likes to help make dinner.

This was a year to spend Thanksgiving with the Feeney's so I make a cheesecake and asked Lilah to help.  It was a lot of fun - and she is a great listener & helper.

First we had to make the graham cracker crust...

Time for the cream cheese

She thought she had to hold it down 

Read for the oven 

And she wanted to help make dinner too

Before I put Lilah to bed, I was putting the cheesecake in the fridge and this is what happened....

I dropped it, Lilah was so upset....I had to hold back tears my self.  Daddy was kind enough to go to the store to buy more cream cheese and sour cream so I could make another cheesecake and he also cleaned up the mess.
