An Early Thanksgiving Dinner

Yesterday my grandma and her husband came over to my parents house for an early Thanksgiving dinner. My grandma and her husband currently live in Richland Center, but they will be moving in a few weeks to Racine. My grandma's husband is very sick and he needs to be transferred to a home where he can be properly taken care of. It's too hard for my grandma to take care of him on her own, especially now since she just went blind in her right eye.

My mother made a nice meal for the whole family. We had turkey, cheesy potatoes, squash, garlic bread, cooked vegetables, pistachio fluff and pumpkin bars. I stuffed my face and was hurting a little bit after doing so. I couldn't help myself though. It was all so good!

We had a house full of people and so the chattering, eating and playing of games never stopped. My sister, her husband, and their two children were there, along with my brother, me, my friend, my parents and then my grandma and her husband. My friend and I carved a huge pumpkin and it says trick or treat. I think it looks really cool. The whole family also played Guitar Hero 3 for most of the day and it was really fun.

  1. MMMM!!! cheesy potatoes! I can't wait for Thanksgiving. All that food sounds delicious. It's also nice to see the whole family, but someone always ends up fighting at my family functions.

  2. It certainly sounds like you had a wonderful day with your family. I am looking forward to Christmas; my husband and I are surprising our daughter with a trip to visit family in New Hampshire. We will leave the day after Christmas; I am super excited because it has been 2 years since I last saw some of the members of my family.
