Thanksgiving was coming up and my family had invited me home as always for the holiday. Since I had been telling them all about Ben they invited me to bring him along so that they could meet him. I asked Ben and he was more than happy to take a road trip to my home with me.
I picked up Ben in my car and we started our trip to my families house. When we got there my sister was the first to greet us and meet Ben. The whole way there Ben explained how nervous he was but I told him to relax. He immediately got along with my sister and they were joking around about my driving habits. Not long after my parents came in the room and welcomed Ben. My mother fell in love when she met him but it took my dad a little bit longer to come around. Being the dad and all he had to play the protective father role and give Ben a hard time. But as the week went on and more family started to arrive at our house, my dad and Ben seemed to be getting along just fine.
