Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day and I celebrated [it] with my family. We had a wonderful day but we had a problem before dinner.

It was a very stressful situation for all of us, but when she returned with the turkey we were very happy. It's a good thing that we could have roast turkey for dinner! Can you imagine that dinner without it?
