Happy Thanksgiving
We had a perfect 2020 Thanksgiving! I have to specify that 2020 part because the “perfection” is relative but it really did turn out to be a good day. We missed Chad, Rachel, Austin and Josey and the girls and I only went for the day because the rain in the forecast for the rest of the week isn’t going to make it possible to stay outside, but the time that we were there was very nice. 
We got there about 9:00 and Matt fried the turkey while the kids watched the Macy’s Day Parade outside and Yaya, Hailey and I got to hang out. The other guys got back from hunting a little before lunch and we all sat down together to eat.
It was very sweet that Rachel planned her meal for the same time and we got to FaceTime with them at the table. We visited for a few hours after and the girls and I came home because we needed a nap. Even Lilli slept! It was a good day. I wish I could have been longer and we were all spending 2 or 3 nights like usual, but for 2020, we’ll take what we can get!
The Baton Rouge family had a good day too! Nana had a personal goal of walking to the table by the holidays and she accomplished it! She’s worked very hard over the last few months to get here. Of course her assisted living facility doesn’t allow her to leave, so they brought Thanksgiving to her. The family set up tables and 13 people gathered outside her patio. Right as the meal ended the rain started and it brought tears to my eyes that it worked out that way for her. So glad she didn’t have to spend it alone. Lizard stayed over to get her tree up too. The Haven (her old place) was super strict but this place tends to look the other way since no one has to come in contact with anyone else. We are all very thankful for that!
