While preparing Ben for going back to preschool he told me, “There is no way it’s been four stay home days.” I feel ya dude. Our Thanksgiving was filled with food, family, more food, more family, and a little online shopping to knock out some Christmas presents. Thursday lunch we stuffed ourselves at J’s grandma’s house and then again that night at his aunt’s house for dinner. It was so fun celebrating Jack’s 1st Thanksgiving with all our family and I love the picture of him and his great grandma who we call Gigi. We were getting ready to leave and I had already changed him into his Christmas jammies.…

Mother’s Day
This year was my last Mother’s Day as a mom to one and next year I’ll have two little boys to celebrate with. We went out to lunch with my family and I didn’t take a single photo. Fail. After making a quick stop at home where I received some thoughtful cards and beautiful flowers from J and Ben, we headed to J’s parent’s house where Ben got to try out their new trampoline.
