Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because you get to spend it with family. My entire life we have had the same traditions. We go to my mom and dad's house and help with the preparation of dinner including turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, green beans, peas, broccoli and cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce, jello salad, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, creamed corn, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. The menu hasn't changed much through the years and we look forward to our favorite foods. The family has grown through the years and we have outgrown the dinner table so we added a table for the children. The children are getting older and have become too big for the table, so next year we will have to find different table arrangements. We each give thanks for the things that we appreciate from the past year. Good health and a positive attitude are always my favorites. After dinner my mom and I plan our annual Christmas shopping trip and make our Christmas lists. We finally head home and go to bed with a peaceful and giving heart :)
