Mama, Daddy and Chase stopped by Nanaw's house on Thanksgiving morning on their way to Daddy's cousin Caroline's house for their first Thanksgiving dinner. They were there to put the turkey in the oven because it was pretty heavy for Nanaw to do. They also took a family picture, the one below. Mama put it on Facebook and shared it with Nanaw so that it showed up on Nanaw's Facebook page. This was Nanaw's last big family dinner. From now on, Uncle Mike and Mama are going to host the holiday dinners. Nanaw has done the dinners for 30 years and decided it was now a lot of work for just one person. There were 17 for dinner and that was pretty much the limit for the number that would fit around the table. Missing from dinner were cousin Kris and cousin Lindsey. Cousin Kris was having dinner with Jerome's family, and cousin Lindsey was working. She called to talk to everyone, from the back of the ambulance -- she's an EMT. Dinner was good, and dessert was even better. Aunt Becky brought over two games that some of the people played: one called Uzzle with little blocks, and one that used magnets inside a circle. It sounded like everybody who played had fun. Baby Beckham laid in Chase's bassinet for a while, and little Hudson had fun playing with Chase's toys from when Chase was a little boy. It was a great Thanksgiving.
