My family, mom, sister, self, went to a friends
house who live in a condo, which is very nice. we had a classic
meal nothing special. some of the foods we ate were turkey, roasted,
with nothing on it, no gravy or sauce. the also had some Brussels
sprouts, baked, not half bad, like the cartoons say they are. we
had the very best stuffing, with cranberries, and potatoes. It
was baked, and thick with italian bread. we also had some mashed
potatoes, and squash. After we had apple pie that our friend made.
After we ate the main course of food, we had a collection of
desert. Our friend's daughter made an apple pie, and she also made
a pumpkin pie. I only had the apple pie which actually wasn't bad.
My little sister decorated cookies with her. I didn't make any
cookies or anything. It was too kiddish for me. Anyway, I played
with
their poodle, who was at least 5 feet taller than me.
We had a very long and interesting discussion about dental
measures. We talked about braces and stuff.
That was it. After that
I showed off some of my whip skills. Yes, I said whip skills. I
own two whips that I practice with. I crack them on a daily basis,
and I can split a soda can in half with a whip. I spent 30 minutes
doing that and we went home.

My Thanksgiving was great!
To get my day started I noticed my dad was going to go out and play
football for a few hours, which made me a bit upset, because my mom
gets mad at him for going. So, while he was gone I was preparing
myself, because we were going to go to my grandma's place to eat.
Once I was finished my mom decided to take me for a ride until my
dad got home. We were randomly riding around, then after 1 hour or
so she decided to go back home.
Once we got home, we found my dad and my 5 year old brother playing
Lego Batman for the 360. We stayed home for about an hour getting
ready to go. When we were about to leave my mom decided not to
tag along, She thought she would be getting in the way for some
odd reason. So, since we couldn't convince her to tag along,
we left.
Once we got to my grandma's place we were greeted by my grandma,
and the sweet aroma of a fresh cooked meal. As soon as we got settled
in, we got our plates, gave our thanks in prayer, and ate. I had
turkey, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, and dressing. Then
we just sat around and talked for a bit, then headed home.

To my family, Thanksgiving is really important.
It is the time that we gather all of our family members to show
appreciation to every one that has ever done something beneficial
to us. We prepare a good homemade meal, and before we eat, being
Christians, we say a big prayer.
During the prayer, we show appreciation for everything we’ve got:
troops fighting for our needs, our family, being alive to that day,
a scrumptious meal to eat, being alive to see the first African-American
president, and many other things.
During thanksgiving, we eat all kinds of food: dressing, turkey,
ham, cranberry sauce, spaghetti, macaroni, chicken, beans, lobster,
and much more. My favorite meal is: Chicken, spaghetti, macaroni,
and ham. I could eat that all day. I am very thankful for being able
to celebrate Thanksgiving.
