Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was low key. We hosted Nana and Papa for Thanksgiving Day and went to Nama and Bampa's for Day After Thanksgiving. The first photo is Macie and I going to Day After Thanksgiving.

During the Thanksgiving Break, Fred and the boys played RISK. Asher fought the good fight but ultimately died. They all saluted him with a good send off.
