Thanksgiving is one of the holidays I look forward to most! All the good food and fellowship with family puts me in the best mood. I have a lot of favorite foods and memories to last a lifetime. I think there are several things that must occur on this day that make it so special and worthwhile. For me, it's not Thanksgiving without...
1. Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in my pajamas with my sister.
2. My mom's carrot cake.
3. My dad's gravy made from scratch.
4. Eating with my cousins at the kids table while the adults eat together.
5. Getting seconds.
6. Wearing festive makeup.
7. Wishing all my friends a Happy Thanksgiving via text.
8. Posting a cute picture on Instagram.
9. Liking everyone else's Thanksgiving Instagram posts.
10. My whole family holding hands for the prayer.
11. The BEST ham made by my grandma.
12. Eating leftovers with family for at least two days.
13. Taking forever to put all the food away and wash the dishes.
14. Finally being able to blare Christmas music in front of my mom.
These are the things that make me excited for the fourth Thursday in November every year! It means the world to me to express my thanks with the ones that matter the most.
