We spent our Thanksgiving in Niagara Falls, NY just like we always have and it was a wonderful trip. Of course, there were moments of sadness since this was out first thanksgiving without my grandpa. Holidays are never easy without someone you love, but we all made the best of it and enjoyed our time with family.

The OCD in me couldn’t take it, but the Mama in me thought it was precious and I loved decorating with my girls. This time of year truly brings families together and it is such a blessing.

So grown up and so...

I pray each and everyday that all this hate people have in their hearts dissipates. I pray that we can come together has a nation and accept the things we cannot change. I pray that Donald Trumps steps up to the job he has been elected to do. We as American are counting on him. I pray he makes the right decisions, even if they aren’t the easy ones....
