Thanksgiving Traditions

This was the first year where we didn't have Jimmy's parents here and it was noticeably different. It's amazing how traditions form and become a way of life. That's why I want to create traditions with EV so that she has cherishable memories and things she can pass down to her kids.

One tradition we have had every year is to make Thanksgiving cakes the Friday after Thanksgiving. A very simple recipe:

1. Take all your leftovers and put it into a big bowl
2. Add eggs, mix thoroughly and make little (or big) balls
3. Coat it into seasoned flour, egg wash, and panko
4. Deep fry and serve

There are so many things I'm thankful for this year. As I reflect on the many blessings, trials, and challenges I've had this past year, I count it all as blessings as they have helped shape me into the person I am today and more importantly they have allowed me to grow in my faith.
