    Maria is soooo talented and creative in the kitchen. Her food is like art!
    And then there was the “cake sliding incident”…..😂 I’m sure Pavlina will never live that one down. 😂😂
    Maria’s comment about not delegating was hysterical. I love Amaury’s mom and dad. They are another cute couple and it touched my heart when Amaury’s mom made a toast to “family being together again”…how wonderful you can all be together. 🍷💙🙏

    Happened in the White House at Thanksgiving to Mrs. Roosevelt with the turkey. She asked for the second turkey, stuffing, vegetables, etc. Later, her best friend said it was brilliant to have a backup turkey. Mrs. Roosevelt confidentially said "There was no second one."❤❤❤

    So mych for the custom cake. We grabbed one off the shelf premade to replace it.
    Jerry is hilarious 😂 his future wife escaped him.
    Thor may succeed yet.❤
