My Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving is a fun time to give thanks. It is also is part of my family tradition. These are the things I did on my Thanksgiving Weekend.
On Saturday, I watched Halloween movies on the Family Channel while colouring my Rights Poster. The movies were, “Halloween Town” and, “My Mom’s on a Date with a Vampire.” After the movies I read my book, “Drowned Wednesday.” At night, I ate Chinese food. There was chowmein, lemon chicken, and other things.
On Sunday, I woke up at 10 AM. Actually, I was awaken by my little sister who told me to peel potatoes for mashed potatoes. My big sister, Alyssa, and I peeled around 25 potatoes. At 4 PM, my family went to church. At my Sunday School we had a mini worship service. We had a play and I was a narrater. After that, we put icing on a cake and decorated it. Later on, my family went to our cousins house. It is a family tradition that we go there at Thanksgiving and Christmas. At their house, we had to wait for two more people. While waiting, we played pickup sticks. I lost with one stick. After the game was done, we ate. I had mashed potatoes and turkey with gravy. We played with my cousins Wii, after we ate. They had two games Wario and Monkey Ball. I played both of them but my sisters didn’t. I liked playing the Wario game because it was really random. Later we went home.
On Monday, I finished my poster and “Drowned Wednesday.” It was a good book. I have to read “Sir Thursday,” next. I slept most of the day but I did do something but I don’t remember. On the next day, I went to school.
I love my family tradition it was delightful. I don’t want to change it even if you offered me a million dollars. (But if you offer a trillion I might think about it.) I am thankful for my family and friends.
