A set of grandparents from Texas weren't able to be with their grandchildren in-person for Thanksgiving, but that didn't stop them from finding a way to still be present at the dinner table. When Missy and Barry Buchanan realised they wouldn't be able to travel for the holiday due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the couple – affectionately known as Ama and Poppi – knew they had to get creative. Instead of missing out entirely, Missy decided to buy two, life-size cardboard cutouts of her and Barry, standing six-feet tall, and send them to their four grandchildren. Missy told the outlet that her daughter received the surprise package in the mail first. Almost instantly, the kids took the cutouts, propped them up around their house and began snapping photos. While the grandkids found the cutouts amusing, their parents were equally as humoured by the surprise.
