It's natural to give thanks.
You know what's better than one thanksgiving meal?
Two thanksgiving meals.
My family hosted lunch at our house, then we headed to my grandmother's house for dinner.
This is a list of food I ate yesterday in no particular order:
Macaroni and cheese
Sweet potato casserole
Turkey
White rice
Brown rice (I'm not racist)
Gravy
rolls
deviled eggs
stuffing
more gravy
broccoli
Ham
collard greens (They were gross...my mom made me try them)
Pumpkin pie
Gravy
Pecan Pie
A couple of M&Ms (they were in a bowl on my grandmothers coffee table)
I realize that's an embarrassingly long list....but I skipped breakfast, so it's okay.
My mother's side of the family came over for thanksgiving lunch. In the middle of eating, I look up to see my baby cousin Eva standing on the stairs holding my brothers rifle. It's a good thing it's broken, because she is very feisty and it would not have ended well. My uncles and brother argued about football and something about Joe Montana and the civil war. My aunt and I stole my cousin's phone and changed her background to a picture of my tongue and recorded farting sounds and set it as her ringtone.
My big brother and I pinned down our little brother to the ground and force fed him broccoli. We watched Little Rascals and Love Actually as our food digested.
I love thanksgiving for many reasons, but if I had to pick one,
it would probably be because there is a chance that I will see a 3 year old with a gun on my staircase.
I love my family.
