While Julie Chrisley will not be at her family’s Thanksgiving table, daughter Savannah Chrisley is making sure to involve her mom in the preparations for the holiday.
“When mom helps you make your Thanksgiving list at visitation last week,” Savannah, 27, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, November 23, alongside two sad emojis.
Alongside the caption, Savannah shared an image of three napkins with handwriting on top. One napkin read “Menu,” and had several dishes penned underneath, including lasagna, spicy vodka pasta and salad.
The napkin that lay next to it featured a long list of items to include in the meal, including chicken stock, pumpkin and pecans.
Julie and her husband, Todd Chrisley, were indicted on tax evasion charges in 2019. The pair, who tied the knot in 1996, were subsequently found guilty in June 2022 of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy.
Todd and Julie were initially ordered to serve 12 and seven years in prison, respectively. Us Weekly previously confirmed that Todd’s sentence was reduced to 10 years, while a judge recently decided to uphold Julie’s original prison sentence of 84 months.
Amid her parent’s legal woes, Savannah took over custody of brother Grayson, 18, and niece Chloe, 12. (Todd, who also shares Chase, 28, with Julie, is dad to Lindsie, 35, and Kyle, 33, from a previous marriage. Kyle is Chloe’s biological father but was adopted by Todd and Julie in 2016.)
After a judge decided to uphold Julie’s original prison sentence, Savannah penned an emotional letter while reflecting on how her parents’ imprisonment has impacted both Grayson and Chloe.

During the Tuesday, October 1, episode of her “Unlocked” podcast, Savannah, 27, read a letter she wrote to a judge while reflecting on the recent decision to uphold Julie’s […] “Chloe is struggling in school, despite the resources I’ve tried to provide. Both she and Grayson wrestle with anxiety and depression that sometimes leaves them debilitated,” Savannah read during an October episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “I’m fighting with every ounce of my being to keep them from becoming another statistic. Children of incarcerated parents who lose their way.” She continued, “They are brilliant, beautiful souls with the potential to change the world and I don’t want this world to break them. But I can’t do it alone. I need my mother. We need her.” In the letter, Savannah explained that Chloe asked whether Julie would be present during major milestones.

Savannah Chrisley shared an update on how her mom, Julie Chrisley, is coping with her new life in prison. “She sent me home 30 to 40 days’ worth of letters … it was like her daily diary basically,” the Chrisley Knows Best alum, 25, said on the Monday, May […]“I feel the strain every day as I juggle raising them, fighting for justice and freedom for my parents and trying to keep a roof over our heads,” Savannah said. “As a single woman running a one-income household, it often feels like no matter how hard I work it’s never quite enough.” Savannah continued, “My mother has missed so many of the moments that define a family — Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Chloe entering middle school and starting cheerleading, Grayson’s last baseball season, senior year, prom, and now the college admissions process. All moments when children need their parents most.” Source link
