Sharing and having fun at Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Fun     

  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because everyone is home and we do different things together.
I love holiday time, because we can spend time together just taking a little break. We all work hard so
its fun to see each other. These were my favorite photos starting at left this is a picture of Rachel and
Olivia. They are cousins, of course, and they were feeding the dog and drawing their favorite pictures.
We had a lot of fun things going on for all of us. The next picture is Dave and Jake playing ping pong.
Dave is my brother and Jake, my cousin. The ping pong matches are the most exciting. I love playing
ping pong. The third picture is Dave's wife, Rachel. In this picture we were all sitting down talking
after eating. This is the time when we talk about what were up to and how we are all doing. Everyone
talks about things and how they are doing. We learn and help each other. We don't forget to laugh
and kick back to. This year our parents encouraged us and we talked about what we were thankful
for. My mom started this tradition so we would be grateful and have joy while we all work hard at
what were doing. Some of us older kids help the younger ones draw and play games. The last picture
is a tradition Rachel and mom started where we all go together to get our trees. We had a lot of fun.
We lost each other looking and my brother started playing marco-polo to find us. We bring hot
chocolate and dress warm so we can find the perfect tree. The guys love that ha ha!
    So, these are my favorite pictures, because it shows us that Jesus wants us to take that time to
spend time and have those fun breaks with our family. My family is very close, because we feel
family is our gift from God. I'm so thankful for my mom and dad, because they have showed us
that being a family and loving and helping each other is very important. We encourage each other
to do well and work hard. So, can you guess what I was thankful for? Your right my awesome brothers,
all my cousins, and my mom and dad. Hope you had a fun time with family and were thankful you
got to be together! Now, at Christmas we like to do community service to help other people. We are planning what we will do now. This is my Thanksgiving story! Love Sarah
