I hosted Thanksgiving for our family this year. The last (and the first) time I hosted was five years ago when Guy was baptized. So it was time. My children were so excited to host. They love, like I do, planning parties and being creative and planning special things for their loved ones. So this was a really fun family thing to do together. But with Steve working on finishing the basement, and two little babies that we didn't have five years ago, this was a major undertaking which took a lot of work and teamwork!
