Today was my first Thanksgiving! Last year mom was so bummed I didn’t arrive by Thanksgiving… (but I did come on Black Friday, which mom joked is dad’s favorite holiday.)

From what I can tell, Thanksgiving starts with snuggling with dad and enjoying that he is home from work.

Then, later, snacks are set out while there is a lot of cooking going on in the kitchen.

Then the food is served in heaping piles on your plate.

Then after stuffing yourself with cucumber salad you lounge around the table…..

….. and then watch football with grandma and grampy.

Mom and dad said that all these things are nice, but the point of the day is to remember how much we have to be thankful for…. so I am thankful for momanddad, Twizzle, Cheerios, all my grandparents, and rubber duckies.
