A little less than a month ago – it was October – I had this really great plan to have the girls over for a fire pit night. The weather was great for a random October night, and we have a fire pit at home.

I can just imagine my mom at home working the turkey with the Thanksgiving Day Parade on in the background. It’s seriously tradition. The Turkey wouldn’t turn out if he didn’t spend all morning jamming to the parade with my mom. Then everyone arrives a couple hours before meal time to set up and put the finishing touches before all is devoured and no one can move because of a food induced coma. (more…)
