Like last year and I think the year before, I will be going to a friend's house for a potluck Thanksgiving dinner.  They always have a jumper and they invite some of their friends from where they used to live.  One of the friends they invite used to be in my orchestra, but since she's in a different orchestra now, I only see her here, and at concerts.  I'm really excited!!!

My grandparents are here this weekend from California. Problem is that I've been sick in bed all day (growl grump) so it hasn't been much fun. My grandpa read Shel Silverstein to me, though. He rocks.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Well we went over to a friends' house the day before Thanksgiving and the moms cooked. My sisters and I and the two girls who live there mostly played. Today we went over to their house and had Thanksgiving there. After we ate we played outside and went in their woods, then we played with their dog and watched some of Prince Caspian. Then we went over to another friends' house and helped decorate their house and tree for Christmas. We played slap jack and spoons (not the music) with the daughter who lives there with her brother and parents. She's 25. Then we played a game of hiding a little stuffed reindeer ornament and trying to find it. It was FUN.

p.s. Happy Turkey Day!!!

I spent Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house. It was fun.

I agree with R~D~ about calling it Turkey Day, but that's kind of obvious, since I'm vegan. But still, I don't understand why people have to call it that. It's supposed to be about giving thanks, like she said, and the first thing people associate it with is a dead bird! It's sad, really... No offense, anyone who calls it that!

The story of my thanksgiving: Start watching Hogfather at midnight.  After it is finished go to bed.  At eight, get woken up by sister telling about kittens.  Go back to sleep and wake up at 11:30 because of Mom.  Brush hair and put pony tail in.  Put shoes on.  Eat half an apple.  Get sweater on and walk out the door after grabbing a bowl of food.  Watch sister drop a pan of lentil loaf and break glass.  After Mom cleans up the glass, get in the car and drive to Aunt's house.  At Aunt's house, read book, stuff self with food, etc....  Goes home.  Does stuff on computer.  Eats more food.  Watches Hogfather again.  Goes to bed.

That was a VERY exciting Thanksgiving wasn't it?  But the days before that were more exciting.  I got to spend the night at a friend's house, make candles, snd wood, clean up glass, watch Inkheart, part of a movie, watch New Moon with friend, do stuff with wax, listen to someone on how his foam sword got broken, found out my friend likes fireflies, blah.

Sorry, rambly.  Um, I would like to say that my head fells very odd right now... 

*whimpers* You should have visited your grandma in NYC...  That's where I was...  Actually, I was in this little (*cough*, "little" is still like twice the size of Gorham) city about 30 minutes from NYC.  We drove down on Weds. (it was supposed to only take 6 1/2 hours, but ended up taking 9, because of traffic ((*growls* MA...)) ), hung out at my (rich) aunt's house on Thanksgiving, then drove back to ME on Friday (only took 7 hours that time).  Let's see, my aunt (Donna) and her family (which is my uncle (Tom), and their college daughters Nicole (who calls herself Madison), Lauren (my favoritest cousin ever!), and Cara), my uncle (brothers w/ my dad and Aunt Donna) and his family (my aunt and their 10 yr old son ), that uncle's wife's parents (they're Russian and really hard to understand), my Uncle Tom's brother and his daughter (Ava, who's five), my grandma, and finally my family. :) So 17 ppl?  Plus the dog. :)
