But Dylan confessed they have a rule for Thanksgiving in their home - she's in charge of the food! "Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday," she said. "I’m in charge of the cooking and my husband won’t have it any other way." 

It's not a small affair either, as Dylan has a house full of guests to cater for.

"Since I have to cook, it’s time for everyone who hasn’t seen the kids in a while to do all the entertaining! I try to get as much prepped beforehand so I can enjoy the day, but it’s all hands on deck with the kids! Naptime helps too…I get A LOT done during Rusty and Ollie’s naptime."
