Thanksgiving was great! I couldn't slept the night before though so I was up at 4:45am it was crazy. My mom was up starting on the rolls and putting the turkey in the oven that early. Things were pretty busy. I wasn't the only one that couldn't sleep ha ha. I just turned on my computer and listened to music. I also set up my new deviantart account tat I hadn't used for a few months. I'd been meaning to move my stuff there for a while since I anted a new name but I never got to it until Thanksgiving.
My church had an activity around 9am that morning, we went to the park and they played football. Both girls and guys. I didn't play since I have really bad hand eye coordination. I ate a sprinkled doughnut though. Actually I ate a maple one as well ha ha. There was hot chocolate there as well. It wasn't to cold though, just a little. I didn't have to wear my coat, just a light jacket. The skies were clear and blue and there wasn't any wind. The weather was great.
After that I went home and just took a shower. Not to long after I got out we started going over to the church. We got the whole church reserved just for our family it was great. My mom brought a big thing of dough to the church for the rolls, she hadn't made them yet. The church kitchen was really busy, There were pies, turkeys, and other things all over the kitchen. My aunt graded some cheese for cheese sauce. I kept on picking at the graded cheese it was good. I never got caught. My hands were clean I might add. I helped my mom put the roll dough into the cupcake pans for the rolls so I had to wash my hands. There were so many people in the kitchen.
Slowly we brought out all the food into the church gym. There were tables set up all the way across the gym. We have a lot of relatives so that was smart to fill the whole gym with tables. All my aunts and uncles and cousins came. There were SO many people there.
There were 2 or 3 turkeys, a lot of stuffing, 2 or 3 things if yams and marshmallows, mashed potatoes, salads, fruit salads, chips, rolls, butter, honey butter, etc. There was a lot of pied as well I might add. I had a little bit of everything. I as so full by the time I was finished. During the dinner my aunts came up one by one, and my mom and they told which family was which and how we were all related, and some really good stories about the family. It was a lot of fun being together like that.
After everyone ate we played games. All the kids were running around the church playing hid and go seek and tag. We also made paper turkeys, the kids had a lot of fun with that it was awesome. we played card games, and I think board games too. I was making a turkey, and didn't pay much attention to what everyone else was doing ha ha.
this went on for a few hours. When it was time to go home my 8 year old niece didn't want to go home. She was mad at my dad for making her go home. Shes so funny sometimes.
After we got home we played more board games and stuff. My family was playing "Solarquest" while I went back downstairs to my room and set up my new deviantart some more. We just did this for the rest of the night and watched TV and stuff it was great.
My aunt Martha and uncle Doug came down from Wyoming and stayed fora few days at our house. My sister too came down from California this week.
The house was pretty busy this week. Our cat really hated it, she doesn't like it when a lot of people are around it spooks her.
Yeah, so hat was my Thanksgiving.
Oh here is my new deviantart account.
