We here at our house celebrate this holiday extensively; we have 44 stuffed animals named after the 44 Presidents of the United States (all chosen and named by Tyler). My favorite is Eisenhower who is a four foot stuffed snake and Ulysses S. Grant. I don't recall which stuffed animal he is, but Tyler pronounces his name Use-el-ess :)
Our morning consisted of making cookie dough and cutting out state shapes; mostly the state of Illinois.
This one retrieved the baking sheets and supervised the inventory that fell on the floor.
(All from his command center of a pizza pan - enlarge the photo; it's under his bum!)
(Please note the Diet Pepsi on the counter - yes, that's mine. 2 of 3 today)
