Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is almost here and I am SO excited!!! In less than 5 days I will get together with around 15 members of my family and stuff myself until I feel bloated.

There's going to be games and fun and family and I just love this holiday so much!

I'm going to go up with my nieces and nephew and feed the ducks, I'll teach them how to draw a very, um, special looking bird while the food is cooking like my older sister did for me. I'll get to spend part of the day in the kitchen surrounded by warm, aromatic, smells and my loving sisters and mother.

And of course there is the fact that I get the day off of work which is always fun! :)

The first of my family coming from out of town arrived this morning, pulling into our driveway just as I was pulling out to go to school so unfortunately I couldn't stop and say hi. I couldn't give them hugs and love, but maybe I'll get out of school early so I can go home and spend time with them before I go to work.

I have another sister coming in tomorrow night as well. This means that out of my 8 older brothers and sisters and their respective families I will have 5 with me on Thanksgiving!

Oh I'm just so excited!

Really I don't understand why this holiday gets looked over so much, it's got just as much of a good feeling about it as Christmas. This holiday is surrounded by love, warmth, happiness and good- at least for me it is.

No school to worry about, no work to worry about, just me, my family, and the food. I guess the main thing to worry about is making sure I don't burn anything I'm assigned to make! :)

Ah, I know it's early, but a Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope you all enjoy yours as much as I'm planning on enjoying mine!
