Last year the boys and I decided to make our own little Thanksgiving dinner and they just loved it! So this year, when Ben asked to do it again I had to say yes.
Ben loves to make this meal on his own (as much as possible) so we made a list, headed to Trader Joes and got what we needed. We of course had to get some cheater items, things that we primarily already made such as mashed potatoes, but Ben doesn't care and is just so proud to be making this "feast" by himself.

Then, after we made, ate, and cleaned up our feast, we got in our jammies and snuggled up in mommy's bed for a movie night. I am pretty sure that there were more stuffed animals than people in my bed but it was the perfect ending to a wonderful night.
Our dinner might not have been made from scratch, but it was made with love and it's little nights and moments like this, that I truly treasure as a mom!!!
