Today was the day I’ve been waiting for all year! Thanksgiving my favorite holiday(other than Christmas of course)! The reason I love this holiday so much is because food is like the best thing ever! And my mom and I are really awesome cooks. Especially on Thanksgiving my mom goes up a weak early just to cook. It’s crazy she goes absolutely mad! Well more me because it’s sooo much food! Yum! And did I mention there are like 35 wait no 36 people that come that we even have to get 2 turkeys! It’s once again crazy. Anyway so this is the story of Thanksgiving day. . .  

Half an hour till the people would come. What to do? I searched the house trying to find something. I could not help in the kitchen. There was nothing to do but watch the two turkeys being shoveled in and out of the oven. My parents had barely gotten dressed yet. My mom was wearing a apron over her sweatpants and shirt that she had gotten grease on and my dad was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt that had also gotten grease on. I knew I could not help there so I went off to find my little sister.

Hudson was laying on her bed in a fancy dress playing on her iPod but at the same time watching TV. She had no idea even what time it was! After this I was somewhat disappointed no one needed me but joyful when I realized what time it was 4:45! The guests would arrive at 5:00! By this I felt a chill of happiness run up my spine. 15 more minutes I thought. So I just layed there but got really bored so I looked back at the clock 4:46! It had been one minute when it felt like 15. So I decided I would look at my room, it was spotless nothing to do there. So I went back downstairs and my mom and dad were finally dressed and cutting up the two turkeys. Then I heard it the sound of joy “DING DONG” Yeah!!! so very quickly I took a look at my dress to make sure it still looked good then I ran to the door. I opened it and thought 1 group down 19 to go.

 The End!

This story was about Thanksgiving and how hard the wait is for it to start. I chose this piece because I really like the story and how funny it was. I also chose it because I worked really hard on it and I am really happy with it. But as it took a seriously long time to get the right words and to make it sound really nice now I am extremely happy with it.  The learning habit this demonstrates was perseverance because I kept trying to find more things to write about. And something that was a challenge for me was to keep writing without worrying about my spelling but I think in the end it turned out great!
