Thanksgiving is a time for families to dine together with gratitude, and it was no different for the Willis family. Bruce Willis’ second daughter, Scout LaRue, gave a glimpse into their family time on her Instagram stories with a video of her dad taking her hand. “My guy,” the snap simply read.
Scout looked into the camera as she extended her hand toward the Die Hard actor, who looked down briefly and returned the gesture, making Scout visibly happy. The 32-year-old shared another clip shortly after while resting her head in Bruce’s palm. She wore a white floral top with puffed sleeves, while her dad spotted a sports shirt and gray beanie.

Scout’s boyfriend, Jake Miller was also present, and sister Rumer Willis with her beau, Derek Richard Thomas. “I’m grateful and thankful to know this kind of love,” she wrote. “Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.”
