Zoe

Grandma has her driving license but we go to her house. Heidi

and Aunt Sara are with us. We all go to the store that has the

spooky decorations. It is called Kids.com. We pick out a

turkey.We grab one and put it in a big bag. We have 8 people so

the turkey is 8 pounds and it costs $5. We take it home and wash

it with a scrubby thingie. We put it in a pan and put sugar all over

the turkey. We also put cheese on top. We put the turkey in a

pan and put the pan on top of the stove and turn on the gas. We

cook the turkey for 5 minutes. When the turkey is done we put it

on a plate and everyone comes to the table. Heidi and I set the

table.

We eat as a family. We have turkey, mashed potatoes,

boiled carrots, bacon, pretzels ( I love pretzels), broccoli and

apples. For dessert we have ice cream with rainbow sprinkles.

Everyone cleans up except my brothers, they play. After we

clean we all dance.

Jamie
We have Thanksgiving at our house. Mom gets the turkey at
WalMart. It costs $2 and weighs 4 pounds. Mom and I clean the
turkey in the sink. We pour ice over the turkey and leave it for
8 hours. Now it is cold and clean. We put it in a pan and put spicy
soup all over the turkey. We add sweet and sour sauce. We put it
in the oven for 5 hours at 6 degrees. Mom keeps checking the
turkey by looking at it. She takes the turkey out of the oven
and puts it on a cutting board so she doesn’t make a mess. We eat
turkey, chips, spicy soup, carrots, potatoes and we have a
strawberry juice to drink. For dessert we have ice cream- I love
the coffee kind. My mom, my sister and I clean up. Dad just eats.
(He does help cook.) We say who we are thankful for. I am thankful
for my dogs and cats.

Ada

We go to Mammie and Poppy’s house in Manchester. Mammie goes to
the grocery store to buy a turkey. She goes to the black freezer
that is full of turkeys. She buys a 20 pound turkey for $4. The turkey
is in a white bag and she brings it home. When she gets home,
Mammie puts the frozen turkey in the oven. She leaves it in the oven
for 2 hours to warm up. Then she puts the turkey in a pot, the pot is
bigger than the turkey. She adds salt. She puts it in a hot oven-
5 degrees and cooks it for one minute. Poppy takes the turkey out
and puts it on a big tray on the counter. My sisters and I set the
table. (Even Josie helps.) My Mom and Dad bring Gouda cheese and
saltines.

We sit down and thank everyone for bringing food. We eat turkey,
carrots, rice and raspberries. We have pumpkin pie for dessert.
Everyone cleans up. I help put the dishes in the dishwasher. After
we just hang out and play games like Trouble.

pounds and cost $5. Cameron and I set the table. Mom and
Dad cook and clean. We eat turkey, carrots, strawberries
and green beans. For dessert we have ice cream.After we eat,

Paxton

My family goes to the grocery store together. We walk in and go to
the cold section and pick out a turkey with our hands. My Dad just
picks one that looks good. We get a big turkey- 45 pounds. It costs
$285 dollars- Mom pays. We bring it home and put it in the sink.
We use the spray hose to clean it. We put it in a pan - we don’t add
anything-and let it sit for 45 days because it is cold. When it
warms up we put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 285 hours. When
it is done we bring it to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

Sadie, Landon and I set the table. We eat turkey, macaroni and
cheese, hot dogs, carrots, oranges and lemons.  Mom bakes cupcakes
for dessert. After we eat we all dance and then swim in the pool.

                

Keegan                           
Dad and I go hunting in the woods. We stay in the bushes and we
wait until the turkeys come close. Dad picks one out. We put the
turkey in a bag and bring it home. We put the turkey in a bucket.
We clean and wash it outside. We use the spigot and add soap and
water to the bucket. We dump out the dirty water and let the
turkey dry for 2 days. When the turkey is dry we bring it in and
put it on a plate. We put salt, pepper and pepperoni all over it.
We put the plate in the oven at 77 degrees and bake it so the
pepperoni sticks to the turkey. We cook it until it is night.

We eat turkey, gravy, biscuits, no vegetables, watermelon,
strawberries and pears. We walk to Hoss’s after for ice cream.
My favorite is Black Raspberry.

We get our turkey from a cooking store. It is a fresh turkey and
weighs 55 pounds. We pay $5- that is a lot of money. We bring the
turkey home and rinse it in the sink with soapy water. When it is
all clean we put it in a pan. We put tiny little onions and spices like
salsa on the turkey. We put ham inside the turkey. We put it in the
oven for 4 minutes at 10 degrees. We wait for the timer to go off.
We keep checking the timer. We take the turkey out of the oven
and put yummy stuff like broccoli around it.

We eat turkey, potatoes, ham and apples. We have ice cream for
dessert and drink apple cider. We all take a picture together.













Danielle
We eat with Papa and Grandma. Mom buys the turkey at the Dollar
store. It is 40 pounds and she gives the person $8 dollars. Mom
puts the turkey in the dishpan and puts in water. Mom then cuts up
the turkey in little pieces because I need little pieces. She adds
salt and dressing-the orange dressing- with potatoes and tomatoes
and puts them in a circle around the turkey. The oven has to be
very hot- 40 degrees and you cook the turkey for 3 minutes. We eat fruit- apples, oranges and grapes. We have turkey, potatoes,
tomatoes. We have candy for dessert.We have fancy drinks, lemon
juice with bubbles. Mom and my sisters clean up. I wash the table.

We eat turkey with Poppa and Mimi. The turkey comes to our house
from the North Pole. Dad and Poppa shoot the turkey so we can eat
it. It is a big turkey- 98 pounds. We have a machine to clean the
turkey. Dad puts the turkey into the machine and it comes out
without feathers. All the yucky stuff goes into the garbage. Then
you put the turkey in water. The turkey machine goes on top of the
stove. Dad adds the turkey, salt, pepper and he hasn’t told me the
last ingredient.

We eat turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli, blueberries
and red berries. We have ice cream for dessert. Dad has a machine
that connects to the turkey machine and it cleans up the mess.
We all help to set up the machine and program it. After we have a
family vacation.

Meme, Grandpa and my cousins come to our house. Grandpa gets the
turkey in the woods. He sits quietly and then sneaks up on it. He
grabs the turkey and walks home with him. The turkey is big- 50
pounds. Meme cleans the turkey in the shower. She turns the water
on and scrubs it with a rag. Then she puts the turkey in a big basket.
She adds water and salt. She puts it in the oven and  cooks it for 5
minutes at one degree. She takes the turkey out and squeezes the
juice onto a plate. Then she waits for it to cool- 2 minutes. Grandpa
cuts it up.

turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, strawberries, and we have ice cream
for dessert. Mom and Dad clean. My brothers play.

We go to a turkey farm and a pig farm. We walk around and pick
one that we like. We pick one that looks yummy. We sneak up on
the turkey in the tall grass and grab it by the legs. We tape the
turkey to a car seat so it doesn’t move. We sneak up on the pig,
too. I sit in the middle of the turkey and the pig. We go home.

6 days.

pounds and we pay $50. We bring the turkey home. We wash it in
the sink with a scrub pad. We put hot sauce on the turkey. The oven
is hot- 5 degrees and we cook it for one minute. Daddy tells me

look for a clean turkey but if it is dirty we can clean it. Grampy and
Dad pick one up and put it in a cart and push the cart to the car. It
is a big turkey-70 pounds.  Grampy pays $2000 for the turkey. The
turkey goes in the trunk. We go home and put the turkey on the side
of the sink and scrub it. Dad uses a sponge and scrubs all over. The
turkey goes on top of the stove. You want it to cook so you don’t put
it in a pan, just on the burner. Dad cuts up the turkey. Everyone
gets a piece.

We celebrate what we are thankful for. I am thankful for picking
the pumpkin. I help put the tablecloth on. We have turkey, potatoes,
squash, cucumbers, peppers and oranges. Nana makes brownies for
dessert and we have ice cream with it. Grampy gives us oreo cookies.

PePaw, Grandpa and Grammie comes to our house. We don’t buy one
big turkey we buy little baby ones at Costco. We pay $5 for each
turkey. They each weigh 5 pounds. I can see the baby turkeys
cooking. Some farmers want everyone to have food so they give
turkeys to Costco so everyone can have a turkey. We bring them
home and dunk them in the sink. We clean it with something like
what I use in the shower. We take out a big pan and put the turkeys
in. We add salt, pepper on top and brown stuff goes on the bottom.
We turn the electric oven on at 10 degrees. You have to cook it for
many minutes. The hands and feet take 20 minutes. We eat turkey, crunchy stuff, bread crumbs with hard stuff,
macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets and broccoli. We don’t have
green beans because I don’t like them. We have strawberries,
blackberries and blueberries. We have chocolate ice cream for
dessert.

We bring the turkey in and I help take all the feathers off.  I love
feathers. Mom puts the turkey in the sink and runs cold water all
over it. She uses a washcloth to make sure the dirt is off. The
