Ah, Thanksgiving: It's the one day of the year when you pull out your best Thanksgiving outfits just to chill on the couch and chomp on turkey! And with your favorite family members and friends by your side, it's the ideal time to snap a few selfies and memorialize the moment. Even if solo shots aren't your thing, you'll still want to share your Thanksgiving spread and Turkey Day decorations with all your mutuals!

If you're anything like Ree Drummond, you'll take cute *and* funny photos of your family, the delectable Thanksgiving menu, and some behind-the-scenes action shots of your own personal cowboy helping carve the turkey. All that's left to do afterward is come up with a creative Thanksgiving Instagram caption so that you can go ahead and post it!

Here, you'll find fun Thanksgiving puns and one-liners, sweet fall captions, and heart-warming quotes about gratitude to affix to your Thanksgiving pics. If you love the Thanksgiving side dishes—more than the turkey!—post a photo of your plate with the line: "Come for the bird, stay for the sides." And if you need a phrase to sum up how you feel about your other half, there are tons of cute Thanksgiving quotes. "You're the apple of my pie" might be a good Thanksgiving Instagram caption for Ree and her Marlboro Man this year!
