"What a fantastic Thanksgiving! You made it all happen and we could not be more grateful. Although tired from our day of skiing, we were eager to dine on the delicacies you created. The kids are still talking about the "pigs in a blanket." We thank you for the "traditional" meal. I remember coming home from college one Thanksgiving, my Mother decided to make lasagna – I cried! Nothing better than tradition! We recommend you and Lane and will most definitely call again."
