The couple found a fun way to celebrate with their family.

Before Missy mailed the cutouts, she called her children, Mindy and Matthew, to let them know a large box would be arriving at their homes. She wanted to manage their expectations.

Missy and Barry Buchanan, who are vulnerable to COVID-19 complications, surprised their grandchildren with life-sized cutouts of themselves.“I said, ‘Don’t get too excited. It’s just something funny for Thanksgiving," Missy, a writer, explained. “I had no idea they’d be such a hit. My daughter called me laughing and went on and on about how much she loved it."

Missy noted that her four grandchildren have been moving the cutouts throughout the house. Often Missy and Barry are placed by the front door as greeters. “They’ve taken us to a chicken coop. We’ve just been all over the place,” Missy gushed. “I told the kids, ‘I fully expect to be decorated for Thanksgiving dinner.’ Maybe I'll get a pilgrim hat!"Though Missy and Barry miss their grandchildren, who range in age from 3 to 12, she’s hopeful that next year they’ll all be gathered around the same table.

“Grandparents can lead the way on this. We can show others how you can be safe and still celebrate,” Missy explained. “I think they’re having more fun with the cutouts than they would have had we been there in person!”
