Holiday season

Celebrating Thanksgiving 2025

Thanksgiving always feels like such a sweet pause in the rush of life—especially as the holiday season begins. It’s the perfect opportunity to slow down and spend time with family.

This year’s celebration was simple and full of joy. We spent the day at my mom and dad’s house with my sister’s family, and it was one of those days I wish I could tuck away and keep forever.
