I am thankful for family and friends, for good health and great boys! Thankful for football nights and soccer mornings. I am thankful that the weekend weather was so great this summer and that soon those days will be Saturday mornings curled up with Hot Chocolate and a good movie.
Do you have any unique Thanksgiving traditions?
Black Friday is my JAM. Ask me what my favorite holiday is..... It's Black Friday. On Thanksgiving at Family Dinner, we all get our adds out and make our plans and lists. I get to go out with all the ladies in our family and shop all day long. I have been going since I was a girl and I love that we still all have that time together, every year.

What are you thankful for?
This year, I am thankful for a healthy family and my hilarious children. We’ve had a great year. I’m also thankful for the awesome team at Preferred Sales and all the work they put in each day to help our manufacturers and customers.
Do you have any unique Thanksgiving traditions?
We started hosting a few years back, so it’s always fun to have members of our family visit that day. Our family traditions usually start once the meal is over and we transition into the Christmas holiday. On Friday, we turn all our leftover turkey into Turkey Wedding soup with a homemade turkey stock broth to eat all weekend. Then, we cut down our Christmas Tree that Friday or Saturday.

Do you have any unique Thanksgiving traditions?
When we were younger, all the cousins would spend the night and "help" my grandfather cook before Thanksgiving. Followed up with a weekend camping in Tionesta, PA. Now, I always make homemade mac & cheese, and I love to take time to enjoy the morning. A sweet potato pie baking in the oven, drinking coffee and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
