On Thanksgiving every year I spend the day with my mom’s side of the family. My mother and I start off the day by watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Then after the parade we will make breakfast for everyone in the house. After we eat breakfast my mother and I will bake cookies, pies or cupcakes we always make at least one of them and bring them to dinner at my grandparents’ house. Then around three o’clock we will finally go over to my grandparents’ house and help my grandmother prepare the dinner and help her get ready before all the guests arrive. Once you enter my grandparent’s house you can’t wait for it to be dinner time; because the smell of the turkey just makes your mouth water. My grandmother usually makes an apple pie and a pumpkin pie for dessert and I usually make a peanut butter pie or some other type of dessert to share. When my grandmother makes her pies she uses the extra pie crust and makes cinnamon rolls. Then when it is time to eat we all get our food sit down and wait for everyone and pray all together. The dinner usually consists of turkey, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, carrots, squash, a dinner roll and cranberries. Then it is finally time for dessert we get to eat all of the delicious pies and cookies. After dinner and desserts we will all sit around the table and talk while the little kids run around like crazy. Then my aunt, cousin and I will begin to look through magazines and figure out what stores to go to for black Friday shopping. We will usually leave the house about nine and get to the store of our choice and begin to wait in the long lines. By the time were done shopping we will get back to our houses about three or four o’clock in the morning. Thanksgiving is definitely crazy, long day but mostly fun for me.
