For five year old me, that was a super big deal, it was like Christmas for me. I remember waking my parents up really early that day so that I could make the turkey. My dad helped me with it mostly as my mom was recording the entire thing. My dad let me feel like I was really doing all of the work, he let me hold the handle of the knife while his hand was over mine. I do remember being able to stuff the turkey which was exciting for me since I felt like I was in charge of the meal. Then once I decided that the turkey was ready I helped my dad put it in the oven. Later in the evening I was able to make a cherry pie on my own too, which was an accomplishment since usually our pie came from Marie Callender's, so I felt quite accomplished that
