When Grown-Up, Big Boys Cook Thanksgiving Dinner

November 26, 2020 by Aprille Leave a Comment

When I found out our Thanksgiving dinner table was going to have few guests, I was excited about having Ezra’s help and making Thanksgiving dinner with him! He did not disappoint! All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving. I’m so thankful for my little family and how they have taught me to enjoy the simplest things in life. I’m so proud of Ezra and the growth and maturity I’m seeing in him. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come as a family.

I’m thankful for him… Russ and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We took a very short trip down to visit his family in North Carolina. We spent Thanksgiving Day with “the family” doing the normal Thanksgiving activities like eating yummy food, exchanging a few gifts (because we won’t be there at Christmastime), watching football, and … [Read more…]
