Megan and Michael Nelson

Jennifer and Abby arrived at the Horton's for Thankgiving 1994. Abby put her hand over her mouth as she walked in the door.

Alice had reluctantly invited Peter to the Thanksgiving celebration also. She still had reservations about Peter's involvement with her granddaughter.

Maggie called to Abby and held out her arms for Abby to come to her. Alice asked Maggie to go into th e kitchen to get Abby some juice.

Alice had wanted some time to speak alone with Jennifer about Peter. However, Maggie and Abby returned quickly with the juice and cut their conversation short.

Jennifer helped Abby get her coat on so she could go out with Grandma. {12/8/94}

As Jenn finished with Abby's coat, Megan reached out for Missy to pick her up and hold her. {12/8/94}

As Jenn talked with Alice, Megan just chilled out in Missy's lap. She didn't really seem tired, but she barely moved. She seemed to be staring at something. {12/8/94}

Just as Megan settled in, resting her head on Missy, Jason came thro ugh the door, giving Megan reason to look up at the action. {12/8/94}

Jennifer gave Abby a goodbye kiss. This was Missy's last scene with one of the Nelsons. {12/8/94}

One last look at Megan Nelson. {12/8/94}

Jennifer passed Abby her reindeer and told her to get Grandma's hand. Abby, now a very big girl, walked out with her Great Grandma Alice, still clutching her reindeer. {12/8/94}

This was the last time we saw one of the Nelsons as Abby. Alice had taken her to Salem Place to gather up the to ys that Barron's was donating to the Horton Center for Christmas. Poor Abby watched Kristen and Alice gather up all those stuffed animals, but never got one to play with. This episode marked Megan and Michael's 90th appearance as Abigail Johanna Deveraux. {12/8/94}

Some more pics from SOW and SOM. Both magazines featured holiday pics of the Horton women. Megan finally had a full head of hair! {photography by Jonathan Exley}

Megan seemed to enjoy playing with those candy canes. Hopefully she got to eat one after the photo shoot. {photography by Jonathan Exley}
