Thanksgiving was a little tricky with covid this year....just like everything else has been tricky this year. Throw cancer into the mix and it makes it even more complicated. We REALLY wanted to be together with mom though so we took precautions and tried our best to keep her safe. My family and all my brothers families, plus my niece Camille's little family were all able to be together here with mom and dad. We had everyone keep their distance and mom and dad wore their masks faithfully except for the few minutes I had them take it off for the picture. We made the kids hold their breath for the picture too so no one was breathing on her. Hahaha. She debated back and forth as to whether or not to hold the baby, but in the end she just couldn't resist and held baby Matthew (Camille's 1st) for just a few mins. It was so good to be together. We don't take gathering together for granted anymore after this crazy year of covid and mom's cancer. We enjoy every minute of our gatherings.
Mom is weak now, so even something like going up and down the stair wears her out. I love this picture of Shane helping his sweet mama down the stairs. Cancer sucks! But it has given us all a new out look on life and helped us to appreciate the little things.
