Vanessa Bryant’s throwback video for Thanksgiving is touching. It has been a year full of memories for the Bryants. Amidst their busy schedules and Natalia’s college duties, the mother of four was seen spending plenty of time with her daughters. As it’s time to wrap up the year, the mother of four shared a few highlights of this year on her IG.
In a short clip, Vanessa included all the pictures from her vacation. Most of the pictures were from their visit to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. She shared two clips. The first clip mostly had pictures of her two daughters, Bianca and Capri, from a trip. In one of them, the mother and daughter were seen fishing. She captioned it “thankful,” expressing gratitude for all the good memories she was able to create.
Following this, she shared another clip featuring snaps and snippets she shot throughout the year as they look forward to the holidays. Of course, pictures from their often-visited Disneyland were a must. This place holds a very special meaning for the family because of how much the late legend loved it.
