Happy Thanksgiving, All!!!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Yes, I love the parade, food, and family board game battles, but the best part is hearing all the beautiful-and sometimes hilarious-things my people are grateful for. This morning I sent around 114 texts and emails asking my loved ones what makes them most thankful, and I received so many responses. I’m excited to share some with you!
