November 24th arrived and that day was Thanksgiving Day and in the living room, Logan was awake and was watching the start of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is a annual parade that happens in New York CIty and was his favorite thing to watch on Thanksgiving. The time was 8:00 am and with him was Broadway Baby and as he watched the parade, he felt some arms wrap around him and it turned out to be Abby.

"Happy Thanksgiving, sweetheart." Abby told her son fondly, giving him a hug and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you, Mom and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well." Logan replied, kissing his mother on the cheek as Maryen came in and gave him a hug before it turned into a family hug, for the Millers', this Thanksgiving was going to be really special as it was the first one with Logan since he was 1.

"Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?" Maryen asked her grandson.

"Yes, Grandma." Logan replied.

Logan headed upstairs and took a shower, there he put his long hair in a ponytail and put on a gray Miami Heat tanktop, gray trackpants and Adidas Adissage sandals.

"Mom, Grandma, how's this Thanksgiving dinner?" Logan asked.

"You look fantastic, Logan." Abby commented.

"What she said." Maryen said.

"Thanks." Logan told them.

"You're welcome and just to let you know, the girls and their families will be arriving starting around 1:00 or 1:30." Abby informed.

"Thanks for giving me the heads up and also, i made my bed up and cleaned up the second i woke up." Logan commented.

"Fantastic."

The Millers looked at the TV and watched the parade together and 3 hours and 30 minutes later, it was 12:30 and Logan headed back into a bathroom and took a shower and was decked out in a Miami Heat t-shirt, jeans and sandals with his long hair in a ponytail.

"How's this for the Thanksgiving Dinner?" Logan wondered.

"That looks great, Logan." Abby told her son. "I bet that's gonna impress Chloe when she gets here."

"Mom..." Logan muttered as Abby chuckled, they began to get things ready for thanksgiving dinner, Logan helped Abby with the cranberry sauce and the food was mostly complete.

Minutes later, the girls and their families started arriving at Abby's apartment with the Hylands arriving first, next were the Zieglers, the Lukasiaks were after them, The Fraziers along with Gianna and her family (Kim, Paul and Alyssa) arrived and last to arrive were Payton, Leslie and their family (Greg aka G.A., Taylor and Connor). Ryan was introduced to Payton's family and Gianna's family. They said grace and got their food as Abby talked to Brooke.

"I can tell you sound better, Brooke." Abby told Brooke.

"Yes, i took my medicine and relaxed and last Wednesday, i sounded better." Brooke answered, sounding better after her sore throat.

"Great to know."

In the living room, Logan was watching the Dallas Cowboys face off against the Miami Dolphins with Josh and E.J.

"Who do you think will win?" Josh asked Logan.

"Well, my pick is the Dolphins as we're Dolphins fans." Logan commented.

"But I'm rooting for the Cowboys!" E.J. exclaimed.

The room erupted into laughter, as the friendly rivalry between the boys was evident. Logan playfully rolled his eyes, "Well, you know where I stand."

Later that night, the girls and their families made a plate before they left for their respective houses. The mansion buzzed with chatter and laughter as everyone shared stories from their past year. Logan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked around the room filled with friends and family that had become so close to him over the past year. He had come a long way since reuniting with Abby at Disney World, finding his place not just in her heart, but also with the ALDC since he had met the girls, first he had met Chloe, Nia and their mothers the day after reuniting with Abby and met Maddie, Mackenzie, Brooke, Paige, their moms and families 3 days later at the BBQ at Abby's mansion and Brooke and Kelly were happy to see him alive and well as they knew he had been declared dead when the house fire happened.

After everybody left, the Miller household was filled with a comforting quietness that Logan cherished. He and Abby had decided to keep the living room clean up for later, opting to spend some quality time together before the chaos of Black Friday would begin. They sat down on the couch, watching the last embers of the fireplace dance in the dimming light of the evening.

"Tomorrow, we'll head to the Dolphin Mall for Black Friday shopping, okay?" Abby suggested, sipping her hot chocolate.

"Sounds like fun," Logan said, his eyes reflecting the flickering fire. "But tonight, let's just chill."

Abby nodded in agreement, setting her mug down on the coffee table. and around 10:30 pm, Logan yawned. "I think it's time for bed," he said.

"Alright, go ahead," she said with a smile. "You've had a big day."

Logan kissed Abby on the cheek and headed upstairs to his bedroom, and after getting ready, he got in the bed and fell fast asleep, dreaming of the fun-filled day tomorrow at the Dolphin Mall and the next day, he and Abby had a ton of fun shopping and enjoyed themselves.
