Non-Traditional Holidays

Every year, our holidays are a bit different.

We have been in different homes, with different people.

Most of the time, we have spent Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve with grandparents.

This year, we will be doing things on our own... with Jackson an entire continent away!

The boys asked that I make our Thanksgiving dinner at home.

I had them invite their dad.

I will make the traditional turkey, stuffing, real mashed potatoes, cherry cream pie, banana cream pie, and homemade rolls.

Braxton said he'll then head down to Sandy to visit.
He will probably take Colton with him.

Kaydon will be working on Thanksgiving night.

I will be dashing.

Sometimes as our lives change, and our perspective changes - our routines change.

Change is inevitable.

And change is okay.

I am so grateful for my little five-person family.

As my boys get older, I look forward to it expanding.

But, for now - our cozy little family of five is all that I need.
