*Happy Thanksgiving from the Shepherd-Aguiars! I know this is early but I'm posting 3 thanksgiving oneshots lol! And yes there is another thanksgiving oneshot in this book because that one was Coralei's first. I hope you enjoy! Love • Bree 🦃🥧
Will films Benji and Coralei sleeping in the hotel bed together. Coralei is curled up next to Benji and Benji is holding her in his arms.
"They are so stinking cute." Will whispers as he walks into the bathroom so he can vlog.
"Good morning! We are in Florida for Thanksgiving weekend! Today is actually Thanksgiving and it is currently six am. I don't know why I'm up so early. Probably because of the time change. RJ is giving Theodore a bath. Look how freaking cute he is." Will says as he films RJ washing Theodore's brown hair.
"Are you excited for your first Thanksgiving, baby boy? Yeah!" RJ says as Theodore smiles.
"Ba ba ba!" Theodore says as he tries to stand up.
"Sit down, bud. Sit down." Will says as Theodore sits down and splashes the water around.
RJ giggles as he rinses Theodore off and then wraps him up in a hooded towel.
"All clean! All clean!" Will says as he chuckles at Theodore.
"Ba ba da!" Theodore says as RJ tickles him.
"Theodore can actually eat some turkey and stuffing because he has a few teeth. Don't you?" Will says as Theodore smiles showing his five teeth.
"We gotta get ready and get the other kids up and dressed! See you guys later!" Will says as he waves.
Will irons his, RJ, and all the kids clothes. He's that dad.
RJ films Coralei, Benji, and Theodore watching the parade on tv while Will gets ready. Coralei and Benji are eating dry fruit loops while Theodore is eating Gerber Puffs.
"It's a My wittle Pony! It's Rarwity!" Coralei says as she claps her hands in excitement.
"It is Rarity! So cool!" RJ says as he cleans up Theodore's cheeks.
"Happy Thanksgiving, camera!" Benji says as he waves.
"Hi, camera!" Coralei says as she waves.
"Da da la!" Theodore says as he plays with his toy.
"Daddy is getting ready and then I'm going to get ready. And then after that all three of you need to get ready. Are you guys excited?" RJ says to the kids.
"Yes!" Benji and Coralei say in unison.
"Raa la!" Theodore says as he giggles.
Will finishes getting ready and RJ gets ready himself. Will feeds Theodore and rocks him.
"Theodore still loves to nurse. But not all the time. Don't you little guy?" Will says as he fixes Theodore's hair.
"Daddy! Are we going now?" Coralei asks Will.
"Papi is getting ready right now and then all of you have to get dressed. And then we are going, okay?" Will says and Coralei smiles.
Once RJ and Will are completely finished getting ready, they begin to get the kids ready!
Will and RJ help Coralei and Theodore get dressed while Benji dressed himself.
"Coralei! Let me see your adorable outfit." RJ says as Coralei walks over, clicking her boots and poses for RJ.
"You look so cute! I love it!" RJ says as Coralei jumps up and down.
"Papi, can you do my hair please?" Benji asks as he hands RJ the hair gel.
"Of course! You look very handsome! Is Daddy getting Teddy dressed?" RJ asks as he begins to style Benji's hair.
"Uh huh! He keeps crawling away and Daddy is getting aggravated." Benji says as RJ laughs.
"Babe, do you need help?" RJ asks and Will walks out with Theodore.
"No. Your son is being stubborn and doesn't wanna get dressed." Will says as Theodore giggles.
"You are so silly! Aren't you Teddy?" RJ asks Theodore who is crawling around.
"That would be crazy if he doesn't like turkey even though his onesie says he loves it." Will says and RJ laughs.
"Theodore isn't picky all. I'm sure he will love everything." RJ says as he puts Theodore's jacket on.
Will and RJ clean up their hotel room before heading out!
"Hey guys! We are on the way to my mom and dad's house! Will's mom, stepdad, brother, grandma and cousin are going to be there too! Are you guys excited?" RJ asks the kids.
"Yeah!" Benji and Coralei say in unison.
"I'm excited!" Benji says and Coralei nods in agreement.
"La la ya ya ya!" Theodore says making RJ and Will giggle.
Will drives the fifteen minute drive to RJ's parents house!
"We are here, guys!" Will says as he parks the car in front of the Aguiar home.
"Yay!" Coralei says as RJ unbuckles her and Theodore.
Ricardo opens the front door and waves.
"Pipo! Pipo!" Benji says as he runs over to him.
"Hey, buddy! You look so handsome! I love your outfit!" Ricardo says as he hugs Benji.
"Thank you!" Benji says as he watches Will, Coralei, Theodore and RJ walk towards the front door.
"Pipo!" Coralei says as he walks over trying not to fall over her boots.
"Hi, Coralei! You look so cute!" Ricardo says as he hugs Coralei.
"Hello, Ricardo! Thank you for having us!" Will says as he hugs his father-in-law.
"Of course! We are all very excited that you guys are in town for a few days!" Ricardo says as Theodore smiles at him.
"Hey, Pop! How are you?" RJ says hugging his dad.
"I'm doing great! Let's get inside before Ryan's dog runs out. That dog does not listen!" Ricardo says, making Will and RJ chuckle.
Ricardo holds Theodore while Coralei, Benji, Will, RJ follow him inside.
"You like my shirt? You see the turkey on it?" Ricardo says as he tickles Theodore.
Martha walks out of the kitchen and happily walks over to the kids, Will and RJ.
"Hi, Mom! It's so good to see you!" RJ says as he hugs his mom tightly.
"I am really happy that you guys are here! Will's family is on the way, his mom made the ham. Hi, Will. How are you, sweety?" Martha asks Will as she hugs him.
"I'm great! I have been up super early. Probably because of the time change." Will says as Coralei tries to take her boots off.
"Come here, Coralei. I'll take your boots off. I love your outfit! So beautiful!" Martha says making Coralei smile.
"I think the boots are a tad too big. But the size down was too small." Will says as Benji takes his shoes off.
"Boots are hard to find for little ones. Benji, can you take Coralei's boots near the door? Thank you so much! You look so handsome today!" Martha says as Benji takes his shoes and Coralei's boots and places them on the shoe rack.
"Mima! I lost another tooth!" Benji says as Martha gasps in excitement.
"Really? Wow! When did that happen?" Martha asks as Ricardo hands her Theodore.
"Last night when I was brushing my teeth! This one! And the tooth fairy came too!" Benji says showing Martha the hole.
"That's so cool! The tooth fairy comes anywhere!" Martha says as she bounces Theodore.
"Theodore is so chunky! I love it!" Martha says as she playfully blows on Theodore's stomach, making him laugh.
"He is a big boy." Will says as Theodore plays with Martha's necklace.
"He loves jewelry too. And glasses." RJ says as Theodore babbles.
Brandi and Ryan walk in with their dog, Charlie.
Brandi and Ryan hug Will and RJ before sitting down.
"I brought my dog Charlie! He's really nice but he loves to jump." Ryan says as Charlie jumps on Coralei, knocking her down.
"Be careful, Charlie. Don't knock people down, silly." Brandi says as Coralei hugs Charlie.
"Be careful, Coralei." Will says as Coralei and Benji pet Charlie.
"I miss Dobby!" Benji says with a slight frown.
"Me too!" Coralei says.
"I promise Joey and Daniel are taking very good care of him. He is having a lot of fun." RJ says reassuringly.
"Coralei, I love your outfit and your hair! You are getting so big!" Brandi says as Coralei smiles.
"Uncle Ryan, can we race the cars later?" Benji asks Ryan.
"After dinner we can. I see you lost another tooth! I heard turkey makes your big teeth come in." Ryan says making Benji laugh.
"Don't tell him that!" RJ says as Will and Ryan laugh.
"He knows I'm joking!" Ryan says as he tickles Benji.
Theodore looks at Brandi and Ryan, smiling at them.
"Theodore is getting so big! My gosh! Hi! Hi cutie!" Brandi says as Martha hands her Theodore to cook some more.
Brandi holds Theodore and plays with him. Ryan plays with Coralei, Benji and Charlie.
Fifteen minutes later, Will's family begins to arrive!
Hank, Karen and Janice arrive first! Hank is holding the ham.
"Welcome! Thank you so much for cooking the ham! Just sit it right here!" Martha says as Hank takes the ham into the kitchen.
"Hey, Mom! Hey, Grandma!" Will says as he hugs his mom and grandma tightly.
"Hey! I am so happy you guys are here!" Karen says.
"The kids are getting so big! My goodness." Janice says as she sits down.
"Hey! It's so good to see you guys!" RJ says as he hugs his mother-in-law and Will's grandma.
"Hi, Nana and Grandma!" Benji says, hugging Karen and then Janice.
"Hi, big boy! You are so tall! You are going to be taller then Daddy and Papi before you know it." Karen says.
"Benjamin, I love your new school picture! I just got it in the mail!" Janice says.
"Thank you!" Benji says.
Coralei runs over with Charlie and giggles.
"Coralei! Can I have a hug?" Karen asks and Coralei.
Coralei runs over and hugs Karen.
"Coralei, I love your pigtails! Who did your hair?" Janice asks as she hugs Coralei.
"Daddy did!" Coralei says making Will smile.
Will picks up Theodore and kisses his cheek. Will hands Theodore to Janice to hold. Theodore looks at Janice and tries to play with her glasses.
"He is so big now! I see both of you in him!" Janice says as she kisses Theodore.
Will smiles as he takes a picture of Theodore and Janice.
Karen plays peek a boo behind Janice and Theodore giggles.
"Pop!" Benji and Coralei say as they run over to Hank, hugging him tight.
"Hey! Whatcha guys been up too?" Hank asks Benji and Coralei.
"Waiting to eat!" Benji says making Hank laugh.
"Pwaying!" Coralei says as she hugs Hank again.
Hank walks over and smiles at Theodore.
"Hi, buddy! Hey!" Hank says as Theodore babbles.
A few minutes later, Will's brother Logan, his cousin Mallory, her husband Derek and their children Davis and Josie arrive next!
All the kids begin to play together while Theodore gets passed around.
Logan plays with the kids and catches up with his nephews and niece.
Everybody talks and catches up.
"Everything is done cooking! Dinner is being served!" Martha says as everybody walks into the dining room.
Everybody begins to sit around the table. Everybody holds hands as Grandma Janice does the prayer.
"Now let's eat! I'm starving!" Hank says making everybody laugh as they sit down.
Will and RJ help Benji and Coralei set up their plates.
"Coralei, do you wanna try some cranberry sauce?" Janice asks Coralei.
"No." Coralei says as she eats her mashed potatoes.
"What do you say?" RJ asks Coralei, wanting her to say it correctly.
"No, fank you." Coralei says to Janice.
"That's okay, sweety! You have a lot of veggies on your plate! That's great!" Janice says with a big grin.
"All the kids are really good about eating their vegetables. The only thing Coralei doesn't like really is green beans." RJ says as he cuts up Coralei's meats for her.
"The kids love to eat anything. We are blessed about that." Will says as he helps Benji cut his turkey.
"I got it, bub. I don't want you to hurt yourself." Will says as Benji eats his ham.
"Davis, use your silverware. We aren't cavemen. You are a big boy now." Mallory says to her son.
Will films his mom feeding Theodore a piece of a roll. Theodore loves it and happily gnaws on it.
"Theodore already loves bread. Mom doing her magic and he is eating everything." Will says as he giggles.
"He loves everything so far! I never seen a baby so open about eating anything!" Karen says as she feeds Theodore a green bean.
"He isn't picky! I don't think any of the kids are. Coralei is a tad picky. But it's not much that she doesn't like!" RJ says as he cuts Coralei a piece of turkey to eat.
"Theodore loves turkey and ham! Yay! Is it good?" Will asks Theodore as Theodore stuffs ham in his mouth.
Will holds Theodore's cup and Theodore sips on his water.
"He doesn't like stuffing! At least he tried it. It must be the texture." Martha says as Theodore smiles.
Everybody eats a bunch of food and talk. After everybody is done, everybody hangs out in the living room.
"We are having cheesecake! Benji is having a chocolate piece and Coralei is having a strawberry piece. Let's see if Teddy likes it." Will says as RJ feeds him a small piece.
"Do you like it? I can't tell if he does." RJ says as he giggles.
"I don't know either." Will says as Theodore opens his mouth for more.
"I think that's a yes!" RJ says giving Theodore another bite.
Benji, Logan, Davis and Ryan play with their remote control cars outside while Josie and Coralei played!
"Who do you see when you look at Theodore?" Will asks Mallory.
"I see RJ! But I see you too, Will." Mallory says as she plays peekaboo with Theodore.
"I see RJ a lot. I love it." Will says as Theodore yawns.
"Are you sleepy? Aww, he wants his Daddy." Mallory says as he hands Theodore to Will.
Will films a sleeping Theodore on his lap. RJ is laying next to him.
"The kids are all playing outside and we are tired. They say turkey makes you tired." Will says as RJ kisses him.
