Today is Thanksgiving!

Last night, Scott, Mitch, Liam, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer, Amelia, Joel and Gabriella all flew from California to Texas to be with their whole entire family for Thanksgiving!

Scott, Mitch and the kids will stay in Texas for about  a week to spend much needed time with their family before they all head back home to California!

The flight from California to Texas last night luckily wasn't crowded with a lot of people which made Mitch feel at ease and relaxed, since Covid is getting bad again.

Also, Gabriella did very well during her first airplane flight ever! She slept the whole time and cuddled mostly with Mitch!

Mitch's parents Nel and Mike are hosting Thanksgiving at their house this year and everybody will meet there!

It is a tradition in the Grassi-Hoying family that Nel and Mike and Connie and Rick host Thanksgiving every other year except for last year when Mitch and Scott hosted it at their house! This year is Mike and Nel's turn.

Right now, Scott, Mitch, Liam, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer, Amelia, Joel and Gabriella are all in the car and they are heading to Mitch's mom and dad's house!

Joel is happily singing Baby Shark while Gabriella sleeps in her car seat next to him.

Amelia and Sawyer are watching cartoons together while Isabella and Sophia play Among us together!

Hudson is watching a documentary about NASA while Liam is listening to music and is texting friends.
