We decided to host Thanksgiving for the Manchan side of the family this year. I was excited, but admittedly stressed, to have all of the family together. I also knew it was likely that it would be the last time many of the family members would see Dad, since his health is declining rapidly. I knew that Asa wouldn't come. He has decided that he wouldn't attend any event that Mom was at, so it's unfortunate for the rest of us but it is what it is. I also didn't think that Micah would be able to come because Kolissa just had baby Odette two months prior and Micah has a hard time getting time off work. To my surprise, about two weeks before Thanksgiving he called me and said they wanted to come because he had gotten the time off work. We were super excited and overjoyed at the thought of seeing the new baby and her adorable sisters. It would be the perfect opportunity for the cousins to play together. Micah asked that we keep it a surprise - so we did. Nobody else knew he was coming. They came down the Monday before Thanksgiving and stayed until Thursday night. It was wonderful to have them and to see baby Odette.
