When Brian and I lived in Denver, I hosted Thanksgiving twice. One year for my family and the following year for Brian’s family. I LOVED every bit of it. Prepping the decorations, making the shopping lists, planning what dishes to make ahead, and sharing foods with people I loved.

Since moving back to Indianapolis, Brian and I typically spend Thanksgiving day with his family and Thanksgiving weekend with my family. My job for the Thanksgiving meal? Bring the pies!
