Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I have always loved Thanksgiving.It just might be because I have always loved to cook. Every year for Thanksgiving, my family travels to my grandparents house for Thansgiving dinnner. I remember waking up and watching the parade while getting ready and then traveling for an hour to my grandparents and then watching the rest of the parade while waiting on everybody to get there. Used to when my dads mom was alive we would hurry back for supper with that side of the family, but that side of the family has closed themselves off from us, so we spend as much time as we want on Thansgiving with my grandparents. There is always yummy food. My grandmother makes her dressing and we have turkey and ham. We also have potato salad and cranberry sauce and everybody brings a side. We always have our traditional stuff, but we always like to try new stuff also. I usually make some kind of new dessert and a cake. My mom always makes pecan pies and other pies and my aunt usually makes banana pudding and something new. I also like to make treats for the kids. I love thankgiving. I love having that day to spend with my family. The kids end up outside playing and the adults spend time talking and often remeniscing. Its such a peaceful time. I'm looking forward to it.

So what are some of your traditions?
