Snuggling up on the couch with fuzzy blankets while enjoying yummy treats is one of our all-time favorite family Christmas traditions. We enjoy this so much that we do this a few times throughout the holiday season. Really who can not get enough of watching Christmas movies? We can’t. Two Fridays ago, I had my …

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Thanksgiving is my husband’s all-time favorite holiday! Gavin really loves Thanksgiving the most because he loves the large meal, the table surrounded by loved ones, and no gifts to be bought, wrapped, and dispersed.
