Well we don’t host a big Thanksgiving (yet), the Mr. & I always like to prepare our own turkey feast together (usually the week before the actual holiday). I know you may now be viewing us as gluttonous pigs but we prefer to view it as celebrating the best holiday twice (obviously there is nothing better than a holiday centered around food….unless of course you celebrate it more than once!).
