Hey family. It is with great disappointment that I have to make this announcement: we're not coming to Grandma's for Thanksgiving. Basically for work reasons.
Two weeks ago I had a forecast of the coming weeks, the spots I would have to score for work as well as a policy paper for the Asian Development Bank that I agreed to copy edit at night... and I knew it was going to be brutal. But I got everything done - or so I thought - and came home last night elated that I had actually gotten everything done and could now visit my family with a clear head. That was last night. Within an hour this morning all of that was undone. The editor of the paper wanted another pass... the spot I turned in needed revisions... and our company agreed to do a last minute rush job for an ad agency (agencies love to work holiday weekends and tell everybody this will effect at the last possible minute), of which I would have to work, due Monday.
So... I can't come. Claire cried. I cried on the inside. Kirst is bummed. We're going to miss you guys. Sorry...
Daniel

It is hard because it was going to be our "Claire year"...and we will have no pumpkin pies...but I am so happy you have a job. This is just part of real life.
You are probably going to have to start financially supporting Uncle Scott soon, so this could be a good thing.
I love you three. We will miss you tons!
I love you with all my heart!
I am so sorry you won't get to be here, especially so since it was Claire's year to get to come. I do understand but I will miss you, all three of you. I had your beds ready.
We missed you guys today! So sorry for the lack of pumpkin pies -- glad to hear you made them.
I texted Phyllis, but I made the sweet potato cobbler to take today -- a little Taste of Thompsons -- and it was a hit!
Grandma sent me the recipe after my first Thanksgiving with you, but I never made it. I threw it together today and everyone loved it! They said I have to make that for all future Balice family gatherings now. :)
Wish we were at the movies with you all right now -- trust me! :)
