Family Fun and Thanksgiving Dinner

By: Courtney Williams

Made all by my aunt Millisa on November 27th, 2014,
Thanksgiving Dinner was delicious. 

            It was a cold November day—snow about three inches high lay on the ground—when my mom, Nelson, and I were on our way to my aunt Millisa’s house.

            The second well-known holiday, Thanksgiving, was the day I got to spend more time with my family than what I normally get to. Before going over I had to make some of my delicious brownies that my mom and Nelson love. My mom, step-dad (Nelson), and I then left our house to start heading to my aunt’s. We had arrived at my aunt’s house around 2 o’clock. When we walked in we said our hellos and could immediately smell all the delicious food that my aunt Millisa had cooked. While we waited for the rest of the food to be cooked my cousins and I sat in the living room and were catching up with each other.

            The food was finally finished around 2:30-3:00 and we all helped ourselves to the delicious food. While we ate we talked about different things and stuffed ourselves until we could no longer eat. After letting the food digest we then helped ourselves to some dessert which was lemon squares and brownies. I then asked my cousin Nykia, 20 years old, what her favorite food and dessert to have at Thanksgiving was. She told me, “Mac and Cheese, the vegetables and cherry pie with whipped cream on the top,” because she’s a vegetarian and doesn’t eat meat.

            After all the delicious food made by my aunt Millisa and catching up with my family my 

mom, Nelson, and I said our good-byes and headed home.

Food set out waiting for everyone to eat it. There was stuffing, yams, corn,
green beans, turkey, mashed potatoes, etc. 

Nykia Thomas (20 years old), a vegetarian, was peeling garlic
for her meatless meal.

Cutting the lemon squares for the end of a great meal. 

After Thanksgiving Dinner, my family sat down to
enjoy watching some TV together. 

At my aunt Millisa's house we ate dinner and then sat down to enjoy some TV. While
watching TV one of their dogs, Joy, came over to me waiting to be pet.
