thanksgiving

I love thanksgiving! my family on thanksgiving is normally just my mom, dad, and my younger sisters, my extended family never comes down to Omaha for thanksgiving because it is to far of a drive, but oh well we have a great time just the five of us. I really like thanksgiving because it is a great day to just hang out with my family. My mom and I always make everything in the morning while we watch the Macy's parade and then after we make all of the food my sisters and i help my dad put the christmas lights up on the house and then we usually eat late in the afternoon. Then after we eat we go down to downtown Omaha where they have this huge lighting ceremony where they light up an outdoor mall. They put up thousands of strings of lights each year and it is such a cool thing to see. Usually the day after thanksgiving we put our chrisrmas tree up. It is such a fun time to spend time together and be thankful for all of the things that my family has been blessed with over the years.
