Mandy Moore is reflecting as she gives thanks this holiday season.
On Thursday, Nov. 27, the actress, 41, posted some wholesome black-and-white photos alongside her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, 40, and their three kids: sons Gus, 4, and Ozzie, 3, and 1-year-old daughter Lou. The trio of Instagram snaps sees the family smiling and laughing together while seated on a couch at home. In the second slide, baby Lou can be seen crawling along on the floor.
“It’s been a pretty wild and difficult year but the top line is definitely overwhelming gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. The most grateful for these 4,” Moore captioned her series of photos.

Earlier this year, the This Is Us star and her family were victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, having nearly lost their Altadena, Calif. home in the devastating Eaton blaze, which was one of a series of wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 people displaced, including celebrities like Moore, and destroyed more than 1,000 structures at the beginning of the year.
The deadly blaze ignited on Jan. 7 and was fully contained on Jan. 31, along with the Palisades Fire.
On Jan. 8, Moore posted an Instagram update to share that the “main part” of her house was “miraculously” still standing. She specified that while their abode remained largely intact, it was “not livable.” Additionally, Goldsmith lost his music studio, and their garage and back house were destroyed.

“This is Altadena. Leveled. My sweet home. I am devastated and gutted for those of us who’ve lost so much. I’m absolutely numb,” she wrote over the footage.
