"Why did I agree to host thanksgiving?" Rory asked

"I don't know, Ace. I'm not you"

"You should've stopped me" Rory rested her elbows on the kitchen counter and put her face in her hands

"Come here" Logan turned her around and put his hands on her shoulders "take a deep breath, It'll be fine"

"I don't even know why I'm so stressed. We've done thanksgiving before"

"You're stressed because it's a lot of people"

"It's not that many people"

"Rory..." Logan chuckled "your mom, Luke, April, Noah, the twins, Honor, Josh, Violet, Rosie, your dad, Laura, Gigi, plus the 5 of us. That's a lot of people"

"You forgot your mom"

"I was trying to" Logan sighed "in 20 years she hasn't wanted to spend a holiday with us, now she does? The kids don't even know her"

"They've met your mom"

"I can count on one hand how many times our children and my mother have been in the same room. I bet Sophie doesn't even remember her"

"Sure she does"

"Sophie!" Logan called out to Sophie who was in the living room

"Yeah, dad?" Sophie walked into the kitchen

"Do you remember my mother?" Logan asked

"Um...maybe?" Sophie squeaked

"Fine. You're right" Rory said

=================================

Thanksgiving

"What about the year of 4 thanksgivings?" Lorelai said

"Ugh" Luke groaned "Don't remind me of that"

"What was the year of 4 thanksgivings?" Sophie asked

"One year your mom and I were invited to thanksgiving at the Kim's, Sookies, Luke's, and my parents" Lorelai said

"You ate 4 thanksgiving dinners in one day?" Lena asked

Lorelai nodded

"I wouldn't do it again" Rory chuckled

"Your childhood was weird" Daniel said

"Yeah, well my mother is weird" Rory joked

"Hey!" Lorelai whined

"What about the first thanksgiving after Violet was born?" Logan said

"Oh no" Violet groaned and put her head in her hands

"You screamed every single time I tried to sit down" Honor said "you were fine if I put you down, it was me sitting that you had an issue with"

"And you..." Josh pointed to Rosie "we're sick your first thanksgiving so we stayed home"

"Am I the only one who never did something weird at thanksgiving?" Daniel asked

"I think so" Logan nodded

"But you were born on Christmas which is worse" Lena said

"That's mom's fault, not mine"

"Excuse me" Rory chuckled "if I were in control, you would've been born way before Christmas"

"Why?" April asked

"You've been pregnant, you know why" Rory said

"Oh yeah..."
