Assignment 14- Alex Warren

My thanksgiving consists of pretty much all of my family getting together and just hanging out and eating food. My family is no ordinary family though, we are very diverse, I am sorry but I’m getting ready to list some unique things about my family. Lets see we have a set of twins; my cousins live in Alaska, Australia, Mexico, Cincinnati, New York, and Los Angeles; there are ages 5 days old (my newborn niece, Giana Katherine Jones) all the way up to 87 (my new latino grandmother-in-law). All of those people will be coming to Lexington to enjoy Thanksgiving, and I believe that there will be 43 of us jam packed into my Aunt Linda’s house. So I start the holiday by showing up at my Aunt’s house early in the morning to help prepare most of the dishes, and I have to say my hash brown casserole is to die for. At about 3 we finish cooking, so I greet everyone showing up with an appetizer plate, and make them a drink, but I leave the alcoholic drinks to my sister who can make any drink under the sun. We eat at 6, and then sit and talk at the table for a couple of hours, but usually I go and play with the babies instead. Around 9 everyone has left the table and the women gather in the living room to watch christmas movies and the men gather in the den to watch football and play Texas Hold’em. Everyone leaves by midnight to go home or to go out for black fridaysales, I like going out for the sales. And uhhh I guess thats my Thanksgiving in a nutshell.
