1. Honestly the turkey skin or the homemade stuffing.

3. We host the dinner. This year we will possibly have 13 adults, 1 teen, 1 child and the 3 babies.

4. We always watch the Macy's Parade and the dog show.

5. We also wear nicer casual clothing.

1. What's your favorite food you enjoy on Thanksgiving? Cranberries on the turkey! I LOVE cranberries and it's the only time of year I have them with turkey! I put cranberry sauce on my turkey instead of gravy. #wierdo

2. What is your speciality dish? I don't cook much for thanksgiving. It's still extended enough where my parents generation takes care of pretty much everything. Sometimes we'll bring soda or bread or something like that.

3. Do you travel or stay home? We alternate going between IL's and my family. IL's are here in town, my family is ~3 hours south.

4. Is there a special family tradition you always do (play football, decorate cookies, kill the turkey by hand, etc) My dad's family always plays a touch football game after dinner, and watches all the football games. We don't really have a family tradition within our little family unit yet- not for thanksgiving anyway.

5. Do you dress up or wear comfy clothes? Usually cute-ish but have to be comfortable. Leggings and a tunic, yoga skirt and comfy blouse, etc. The key is stretchy pants on bottom! 😂
