Thanksgiving Break!!!!

Well Thanksgiving came and I loved the whole thing and was definutely not ready to come back to school. To begin my Thanksgiving festivities I helped my mom with her annual Thanksgiving dinner for her first graders. As I walked into the class I was reminded of when I was in first grade. Yes mom I still can remember it. I was dressed as a pilgrim and Torie was an indian. We sat right across from each other that day and we were so excited. Just like all those little kids were. My mom is a great teacher!
Our Thanksgiving dinner was very small but we had so much to be thankful for. It was just me, my mom, and my dad. However, if you would have seen all of the food we had you still would have thought we had a whole house full. My mom and I cooked all morning. My mom taught me how to make pie like my grandma Clark taught her. I still need alot of practice but they were pretty good! After dinner was over we watched alot of football, James Bond, and slept! It was great:)
After we were done resting me and my mom put up with Christmas decorations. I know what you are all thinking "You put up CHRISTMAS decorations up on THANKSGIVIGN:O!! I understand where you are coming from but we had nothing else to do! So I put up the tree with my moms help, and also the village, while my mom put all the others up. It took alot of work but it was alot of fun and it brought even more of the Holiday spirit into our home. Here is the tree that we decorated. I have decided that next year we are going to have to put white lights up instead of the colored ones.

And here is the village.

I am so grateful that I could be home for Thanksgiving and for the time I was able to spend with my parents!
