Kristin Cavallariis sharing what she’s grateful for thisThanksgiving.

Instead of posting a photo from her Turkey Day table, theLaguna Beachalum, 36, celebrated another special occasion that happened to fall on the same day this year — her daughter Saylor’s 8th birthday.

Cavallari — who shares Saylor, as well as sons Camden, 11, and Jaxon, 9, with ex-husbandJay Cutler— wrote a sweet birthdaymessageto her youngest child on Thursday, which she shared alongside photos of the 8-year-old hanging out with dogs, chickens and, of course, her mom.

“Happy birthday sweet Say Say 🤍. You have the ability to nurture and take care of everyone you love, while also holding your own (especially with your older brothers),” Cavallari continued. “You’re my favorite girl to do life with. I’m the luckiest to be your mama.”

Last month, theLet’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallarihost documented another holiday with her kids.

On Halloween, Cavallari shared a carousel of photos on Instagram, which included pictures of her mother-daughter costume with Saylor.

The adorable duo twinned in matching devil costumesand posed together for a few snaps while their dog Quinn ran between their feet.

Cavallari also shared a photo of the family’s trick-or-treating aftermath — two large piles of candy on the floor, which their pup sat right in between.

“Testing Quinn’s self control,” the mom of three joked in her caption.

“Well, I would say no until they’re 18,” she said with a laugh. “Listen, if they want to pursue a career in entertainment when they’re 18, absolutely I will support it. But until they’re 18, I want them just to be kids.”

“It’s hard enough being in high school and doing everything that you’re doing as a kid, so just focus on that, and we’ll cross that bridge when it comes,” she added.

“No, we’re not doing that,” she insisted. “I don’t even put them on Instagram.”

“I just try to keep them kids as long as possible,” she added.
