  2. My thanksgiving break was fine. Wednesday was the worst though. Something happened to my mom so I had to call 911. My mom was fine the next day, but it was still scary. Then on Thursday I did my dog siting job. Then my mom and I sat down and watched some T.V. Then my mom made thanksgiving dinner.
    On Friday, my mom and I went Black Friday shopping. It was my first time, and I had so much fun. We went to Game Stop to buy some controllers for my brother. Then we went to Starbucks to have some coffee an hot coca. Next we went to Target just to see if they had any good deals. We found some movies, and video games on sale. My mom bought a T.V show called the Big Bang Theory. Then when we were looking at CD's I saw Elizabeth there. Then we went home and watched the show all weekend long.
    I am thankful for my amazing teachers Mrs. Mastronardi and Mr. Jennings. I am also thankful for my family and friends, an the food on the table.

  4. What I did over Thanksgiving brake was o to Tennessee to see family I won't see over winter brake. The nights I spent sleeping there were vary enteresting, though. My Nana had just gotten a new kitten named Mochie. EVERY time my dog saw her, and she was out of her crate, Layla (my dog) would chase Mochie untill she was up the stairs. We had a nice thanksgiving dinner! But because I don't like turcky, I had ham. My last day there, was fun. My cousin Rachel took Layla to petsmart to groom her. While sh ewas doing that I went to see Aurther Christmes! It was so funny! When were comming home, we were stuck in traffic and it took us 8hr to get home.
    I'm thankful that we made it home safly because my dad was falling asleep.

  5. During my Thanksgiving break, my cousin came over from D.C. The day after that, Saturday, I went to the Coke factory. I watched a 3-D show and I got to taste a lot of different types of them from different countries in continents. The worst one was this drink called The Gingerbread Coke.To me it was like putting cinnamon in juice. Then we baked some pumpkin cupcakes. The next day,Sunday, they left. I felt gloomy, but I can Meet them some other time, too. I am thankful to Mr.Jennings And Ms.Mastronardi!

  6. For Thanksgiving I stayed home. We had Thanksgiving a day earlybecause my Mom had to work at the hospital. So we ended up having our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday. My sister, Abbie, does not like Thanksgiving dinner. She only likes stuffing, so that is all she ate, stuffing, stuffing and more stuffing!
    After dinner we had pie. I helped make the apple pie, and everyone ate the apple pie except for my sister, she had pumpkin. On Thanksgiving I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. My favorite thing in the parade was Kermit the Frog and Snoopy. Me, my Dad and my sister took a walk. While we were walking it was so quiet. It was like one of those movies where earth was abandoned, we were the only ones out there. Then that night we watched "It's Thanksgiving Charlie Brown". My favorite part is where Charlie Brown tries to kick the footbal and Lucy pulls it away, and then Charlie Brown flies up into the air and lands on the ground! On Friday, we put up our Christmas tree and decorated it. I got a new lacrosse ornament, Maryland Terrapins!
    We also went to the movies as a family. We went to see Tower Heist. It was fun.
    And that is what I did on Thanksgiving break!

  7. Over thanksgiving break, i went to Flordia. First we went to my anuts house and had the best dinner ever. Then we went to Coca Beach, where my dad grew up. The waves were huge( about 6 to 8 feet). That was my favorite part, we were riding them for 3 hours straight. Over all the break was the best, but i have to say I wanted to get home and go back to school(KINDA).

  12. My Thanksgiving break was great! My family and i were planning to go somewhere but instead we went to my cousins' house, had a nice Thanksgiving Feast, and I had a sleepover! It was AWESOME because the next day was Black Friday so, we were going to go at 1:00 a.m. in the morning but, then we decided not to go because it would just be WAY to crowded. The best part is my cousins' mom bought us some cool stuff that we wanted.

    After all that fun, it turns out not all the fun was over yet. The next day on Black Friday my cousins, my mom, their mom, grandma, grandpa, and I went to my house and hung out there for a while then we all went to the North Point Mall! We had a BLAST! My cousins and I went to my house and had a sleepover there! We went ice skating, ate frozen yogurt, then went to there house for dinner again. Sunday was the last day of Thanksgiving break. I was upset but, my mom and I went shopping all day long and had a great time!

    I am very thankful for how my family could have the best time ever together! We have great food,shelter and a very happy life!I have a perfect amount of lucky treasure that I am thankful for which is my family. That was my Thanksgiving Break,not the best one yet but a VERY good Thanksgiving.

  13. I'm thankful for my family.I am thankful for them because they are really nice and they give me things , I am happy that we get together .And I'm able to learn things from them. I'm also lucky for all the things we have because some kids do not have a house or toys like I have. The last thing I'm happy for is my friends they are always with you when you have tough times.

  14. For Thanksgiving break my family was planning to go to a friend house in North Carolina but since my dad was busy we didn’t go. I stay home for all Thanksgiving break as well. However on thanksgiving I was invited to my dad’s boss house. They had a seven years old daughter, and I found something we had in same: we both like to read books! She didn’t read picture books either, but she read chapter books. She had a collection of books I haven’t read until I was in 3rd grade. She basally has a book in her nose all the time. After that was over we went to another party, with violence in it. We went home at midnight. It was a great Thanksgiving! ☺

    For Thanksgiving my family went to Florida. The day we got their we just relaxed. The next day we went to Legoland, so we had to get up early. First we road all the rollercoaster's. Then we drove lego cars and boats. We ate lunch and then did more activities like robotics. The next day we went to Disneyland (Magic Kingdom). We went to all the parts. Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty square, and Mickey's toon town fair. The next day was Thanksgiving. We went to the pool did water slides and the lazy river. I did rock climbing. For lunch we had a Thanksgiving feast. There was turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, corn, cranberries, beets, carrots, rice, apple pie, and pumpkin pie. The next day we went to Legoland again,to finish what we did not do. On Saturday we stayed half a day and then went home. We got home around 11:30. On Sunday we went to a football game.  And then it was school time again. I am Thankful for that and my family.☺☺
