Ryan has become quite the helper now that she's no longer the 'baby' but the 'big sister'. Here she is helping mom in the kitchen (and let's face it, mom can use all the help she can get):
Pizza night - plenty of 'shake-shake' (Parmesan as Ryan affectionately calls it)
Feta cheese - yum! And sticky!

Another night, another edible meal - this time onto the potatoes:
Stirring is her favorite part - whether you want/need her to or not, she will stir and stir with all her might.
