“Grab your coat,” Mom yells as I put my shoes on. Today we’re going to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving, we get to see the whole family and eat as much as we want. When we arrive, I run right to Grandma for a big hug hello while my cousins Eric, Adam and Jessica are already playing games in the living room. Finally, we sit down to eat dinner; boy am I hungry!
Before we eat, Grandma makes us go around the table and say what we are most thankful for in our lives. “I’m thankful for my new coat that keeps me warm,” exclaims cousin Adam. Cousin Jessica says she is thankful for her friends and her basketball team. I’m thankful for Grandma because she makes the best turkey in the whole wide world. Grandma tells us she’s thankful for us, her grandchildren, and the whole family, the people she loves most in the world, coming together to share a meal and enjoy each other’s company. “We love you, too, Grandma!” declare the enire family.
Thanksgiving at Grandma’s
By Tamar Gain-Cahn
We are full of yummy food but sill have dessert to come. Uncle Rob made apple and pumpkin pies from scratch. Apple pie is my favorite, but my cousin Jessica loves pumpkin the most. Cousin Jessica and I decide to share a piece of each pie. Ater dessert, we all play games in the living room. I am lucky enough to sit next to Grandma. All that food makes me so ired that I end up falling asleep on Grandma’s lap! Eventually all my cousins fall asleep, too.
I wake up to dad carrying me to the car to go home, but something sirs inside me and rouses me from my sleepiness. “Daddy, I forgot to hug Grandma goodbye and thank her for the delicious food she makes.” I run back inside and give her the biggest hug and kiss. I feel her warm embrace and swell with graitude for what I have. Today is a great Thanksgiving.
