Everyone was there. I couldn’t wait, I thought the meal would be ready in 30 minutes, oh yeah! But, of course not. I ask my mom, ANOTHER two hours! AHHHH! We were all at our mountain house in Ellijay, GA. I was with my mom, dad, sister, two grandmothers Mama Faye and Gramz, Uncle Houston, Aunt Kim,and my two cousins. ( Taylor and Michelle~ They are twins and they just turned 14 today! Happy Birthday!) We were all preparing for our huge meal! As usual Mama Faye makes almost ALL the food! YUM! We were having ham, dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, rice, gravy, fried okra, mac-n-cheese, and of course turkey!
Since we had to wait for so long, we played an awesome card game called spit. We played for what seemed like a century. (maybe it was only 15 minutes but . . .) We also played an app on my IPad called Worder. My whole family is upsessed with it. We did almost anything to pass the time. But then I finally heard the best thing ever, “ Ok, you can go get your plates now!” We all scurried over to the table and loaded our plates so full.
During dinner we all talked and laughed. We talked about our little kid stories, all of clumsiness. We just enjoyed being together. Then, afterwards we had birthday cake for Taylor and Michelle. We finished the night with the amazing movie Elf. Also, we played more spit.
I will never forget this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all my family and I am very blessed.

Annie,
It sounds like you had a great time with your family. All that food sounds so good, I have never heard of spit before but it sounds like lots of fun. Where is Ellijay, Georgia? Is it close to Atlanta? I also had sweet potato casserole mine was delicious.
Sincerely,
William

Annie,
Wow! I could never wait 2 whole hours! At least you got to play on your iPad. The real meaning of Thanksgiving is spending time with your family, which you definitely did. I love food so I say that another reason is to eat the food you are given, and ALL of it! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday to Taylor and Michelle!
Sincerely,
Chloe
