Thanksgiving    Narrative   

      I had a great Thanksgiving break and I actually had 3 Thanksgiving celebrations! On the actual Thanksgiving day, I went over to my Mom’s parents house and my Uncle also came and we had a mini feast. My Mom brought over a casserole that was ham and cheese in the middle because my Brother didn’t want to have turkey every day for 3 days!  I had some of that too.   We didn’t really do much, just that my Grandparents wanted to have a little Thanksgiving meal with us and our Uncle.

       Then, on Friday, we drove all the way to Elysburg. This time we were going to my Dad’s parents house, which is 2 hours away from our house. We saw all of our cousins there! This time we were going to my Dad’s parents house.  Molly, Kennedy, Patrick, Charlie, and our other cousin Cameron. That was an exciting day because our Grandma, who we call Gram, always has fun crafts for all of the girls to do.  

       Me, Molly, and Kennedy made snowflakes with old toilet paper rolls that Gram had been saving for us to do this.  We decorated them with glitter and put them on the deck railing to dry.  So I had brought ingredients to make slime, but the problem was, that I didn’t have any glue left to bring.  We asked Gram if we could use some of her clear glue because all of us REALLY wanted to make clear and glitter slime!  After that, she let us!  Everybody including all of the girls again made LOTS of slime so that the whole bottle was empty!!!  We were doing this outside without any coats on and it was freezing!!! After we made all of the slime and snowflakes, I and Kennedy’s hands were numb because they were so cold!  

       Then we had our Thanksgiving meal for lunch and we also had the same things for dinner.  My family stayed there the whole day, but we got there about an hour before lunch time.  After dinner, me, my family, Uncle Todd, Molly, Kennedy, Uncle Brent, and our Grandpa went to the local hospital because we were visiting my Great Grandpa who was in the hospital.  He was asleep when we were in his room, but we still got to see him.  It looked like he was doing better than he was before, so that was a good thing.

We had to go home soon after that.  I was sad, but atleast I still had another Thanksgiving celebration to go to.  

          Now the next day Saturday, I was back again at my Mom’s parents house and this time my Whole family was there not just my family, my Grandparents, and my Uncle. It was all of my Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, and my one cousin Avery.  Me, Alan, Emmett, and Avery, got some gifts that my Aunt Margaret got for us.  She got us Thinking Putty, and I got a glittery batton, and the boys got little light up dinosaurs.  I was playing with my putty for the whole day! Also, me, Alan and Avery brought our Anki Overdrive sets and our devices so that we could play.  I didn’t play at all, because I was on my ripstik.

          After about 12:30 or somewhere close to that, we had our lunch which was the only meal that we were celebrating for Thanksgiving, I had a LOT of things like, bacon + brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes + gravy, DEFINETLY cranberry sauce, turkey, beef, lots of vegetables, and a lot more. I also had 3 pieces of pie! They were all kinds that my Mom had made, Apple Cranberry, Pumpkin, and Key Lime!  My Grandpa Really likes to cook so he always makes a lot of things so that we have enough and so that some people can take leftovers if they would like.

         Then, after lunch I went outside and me, Alan and Avery played hide and seek outside, except Alan found me right away because I was wearing a bright Neon orange shirt. Also, Avery was wearing a bright blue shirt so Alan could find both of us pretty easily.

       Everybody just started to leave slowly one by one and once my one Uncle left, with my other Aunt and her boyfriend to go back to the train station for my Aunt to go back to New York, my family left soon after that. The only ones left was my family and of course since it was their house, my Grandparents.

       I had a great time at each of my Thanksgiving celebrations and I am thankful that I could have 3 Thanksgiving lunch/dinners.

I hope that all of you also had a GREAT Thanksgiving!!!
