Today is our first day back at school since last Tuesday. We had a 5 day weekend because it was Thanksgiving break. Thursday I had a Thanksgiving dinner at my Nana's house which is my mom's mom. We didn't have your traditional turkey, we decided to switch it up and have a Mexican themed dinner. The only people there were: my mom, dad, Uncle Cody, Nana, Papa, my Great Aunt Karen, and her granddaughter, Trinity. We had a fun time watching home movies and telling stories. Everyone left at about 5:00. Karen and Trinity went home, but the rest of us went to Chillicothe Walmart to go Black Friday shopping. It was CRAZY! There were so many people there, I could hardly move, but we had fun and got some good deals. Friday afternoon I went to my grandma and Theresa's house for Thanksgiving on my dad's side. We ate turkey, ham, and other delicious food. I enjoyed spending time with them. On Saturday morning, we went to the Community Hall for another dinner. This one is always our biggest dinner with quite a few people we only see once a year. Our two main things we had to eat were turkey and ribs, along with a lot of sides. When my nana was cooking the sweet potatoes, she took them out of the oven when she thought they were done. Well, she decided that the marshmallows on top needed to be browner, so she put them back in the oven and turned it on broil so they would brown quickly. After that, she continued to make other food. A little while later, someone yelled "WHAT IS ON FIRE?!" We all immediately ran over to the oven and swung it open. Smoke rolled out and the marshmallows were as black as coal. Everyone about died laughing after that and we had to open the door to get the smoke out. I had a really fun time catching up with my family.
