Thanksgiving Wishes for Family

Home is wherever you are, and today I'm especially thankful for that. Happy Thanksgiving, family!

Grateful for the food on our plates and the love at this table. Cheers to another Thanksgiving together!

Family is the secret ingredient that makes Thanksgiving so special. Love you all.

May your stuffing be tasty, your turkey be plump, and your family be happy this Thanksgiving.

Thankful doesn't even begin to cover it. I hit the jackpot with you all!

I'm so grateful we could all gather on this special day. Happy Thanksgiving! May we celebrate many more together.

When it comes to families, I definitely lucked out with the best! Happy Turkey Day!

I so appreciate you and everything you do for me. I can't wait to sit down for a delicious meal together!

We laugh, we cry, and we argue over who has to do the dishes—but I wouldn't want it any other way. Happy Thanksgiving to the best family!

Though I wish we could celebrate together, today is yet another reminder that distance really does make the heart grow fonder. Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm very thankful to have a family who takes eating as seriously as I do.

I know there have been times when I've forgotten to thank you for being there for me. I take this day to tell you how special you are and how great my life is because of you.
