Flying Turkeys - Kyle W

In many aspects my family’s Thanksgiving is the typical image of a big table filled with as much food as possible and surrounded by the whole family. But at the same time it’s a bit different because for a few years now my parents have been divorced and so my siblings and I have had to do multiple thanksgivings. We would usually have one out at our grandparents on our dad’s side the day of thanksgiving and our cousins and their parents would come up from Tennessee to spend the day with us and we would prepare and eat as much as we could before watching the Cowboys game that is on every year and play games.

Because that thanksgiving celebration was just with my family from my dad’s side we have another one several days after at my grandparents’ house on my mom’s side of the family with our cousins, aunt, uncles, and several other friends and family. We would all get together and sit around talking and having a good time before sitting down to have another thanksgiving meal.

This year was ever more different from years in the past because after we had the first thanksgiving on Thursday and then the second one on Friday we had a third one on Sunday. We decided to have one at our moms house this year and it was just me and my three siblings and our mom and her boyfriend and my sister boyfriend and my girlfriend all came and we fixed a small meal that resembled a thanksgiving meal and then ate and watch the movie Elf to kick off the holiday season.
