We finally got to have our Thanksgiving last night. I am thankful for my family always supporting me with my crazy holiday schedule. Even though we don’t get to celebrate on the “official” dates we still make sure we celebrate and get together! I was sad to hear that I was outvoted in switching our turkey to prime rib next year. I was told that my turkey was the best they’d ever had and can’t give it up! 🥰🥰🥰Guess I can’t argue against that praise. Definitely feel loved! Thank you!
