I started with photographs of the boys but Reece, the youngest soon had enough of sitting. He wanted [...]

We went home to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my family. It was my children’s and my husband’s first ever Canadian Thanksgiving celebration in Canada, and it was my first in eleven years! Needless to say, we were all excited about the long weekend!
