The preparations started early this morning (note Robert’s cool new Sponge Bob PJs). Uncle David (David Z.) and Cousin Ian insisted on doing the cooking this year. So David came over this morning to start working on the meal before he and Ian and Nick and Harry and Elle all headed into DC for a segway tour. They should be back soon to pick up where they left off. And Robert can’t wait to help more (we just need to make sure he doesn’t get much closer to the cooking knives).
