Thanksgiving!!

I am ready for Thanksgiving, I am excited to spend the time off that i get with my family and the fact that i get to help make all of the great food that we have for the dinner. We are going to have these egg things in the morning with gorilla bread which sounds amazing right now and we will probably have little snacks through out the day.Then for the dinner my mom will make a great turkey with her stuffing that is made from scratch and that just makes your mouth water when you look at it. Along with that we will have a great green bean casserole that has those on type of fried like onion strips on top of it that gives it a little something extra when you take that first bite into it. We will have mashed potatoes from scratch as well  and long with this AMAZING sweet potato dish that my mom makes. The first time that i had that i thought that is was some kind of pumpkins dish thing but I still loved it when i found out what it was. My mom will make an apple pie and my grandam will make gravy for the mashed potatoes and a few other things that are delicious as well which includes her pumpkin pie that she will be making for us. It is so wonderful to know that my family has all of these great traditions about what food to make and how to spend the day.One thing that i really love is our tradition of reading of a Thanksgiving poem that my mom has been telling us since I was a baby. Now that we all have grown she lets us all read a paragraph from it as it goes around the table then we all tell each other about what we are thankful for and why. It is great having to do this every year because no matter how much we all bug each other that never seems to matter when we are all together and having a great time.
