Thanksgiving

What I am doing this Thanksgiving List:

1. My family is going to our family friends Marianna and Mimi's house in Connecticut. Their daughter is named Helena. She is 6 and is my sister Frida's friend. We will be eating a turkey (yay!) and some kind of vegetable stir-fry that Marianna will make. Most of my family are vegetarians, only my dad and I are not. This may be my first time eating a Thanksgiving turkey. I want to help make the turkey. I will make a pumpkin pie/and or a apple pie and sweet cornbread. Every year we have a big feast for dinner and then we talk and spend time together. I make all the children that are around make a list of what they are thankful for. I am the thankful police and by Thanksgiving we are already in the Christmas spirit and so they write thankful letters happily and then play. This is our first time going to Mimi and Marianna's for Thanksgiving. Usually we do it with our other friends Elizabeth (my mothers friend) and Marco (my friend.) We watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from their big windows in the living room while eating breakfast (scones,muffins). We have not for a few years though. Other times we go to my Aunt Sandra's (and Greta's) house in Putnam County. Sometime my grandmother is there, and her twin sister, Aunt Louise. Usually Aunt Pamela, and her daughters Celeste and Celina are there. The kitchen is occupied all day. There is a big meal with the good china and memories and thankfulness and family. On the TV we watch the parade in our pajamas and I see my couisins! I have to go.....I must stop writing!
