Mom was very upset that you could not make it to Thanksgiving so make sure to visit soon so she’ll stop worrying about you. Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving and everyone from moms side visited.

After that we gathered around the table and Charlie said that he was happy that we all saw you play so we wouldn't fight.
