‘Twas a spectacular Thanksgiving weekend in the Bender house. Mama and Papa B. went all out this year, and I am so grateful for all of the time and effort they put into making not only Thanksgiving special, but also every day that followed this holiday weekend.

My aunt- and uncle-in-law came into town on Sunday, Bobby’s parents get into town tonight and on Friday we get an [...]
