I’ve been looking forward to Thanksgiving all month long. It’s my favorite holiday. We have set traditions on this day, starting the night before with making pies. In the morning we bake orange cinnamon rolls and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. We make whatever dishes we are bringing to our parents houses. We have lunch at my parents house dinner with Jeremy’s family.

My favorite part of the day is our morning traditions. As Annabella gets older, those mornings are even more meaningful. I love watching her eyes light up while watching the parade. Just being together means so much to me.

Thanksgiving was the first big holiday we celebrated as a family of three, and this year we get to celebrate as a family of four. I am so excited, and yes, grateful, for today.
