I sat there mesmorized by all the wonderful foods in front of me, just waiting to be eaten. There was a giant twenty pound turkey cooked sitting in the middle of the table with its golden color to show that it was cooked, which made it look like it was shinning. Surrounding the turkey was all sorts of wonderful foods that please everytaste bud. There was corn, peas, mashed potatos with tasteful brown gravy slowly moving down the mountain of mashed potatos. It was finally thanksgiving!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! It was five o clock in the morning as my alarm clock started to scream and tell me it was time to get up. Today was finally the day my family and I were going to see my uncle Tommy in ohklahoma. I had to get up very early because it is a twelve hour drive from Colorado to Ohklahoma, and we wanted to get there before dark. We already packed and had our expedition (suv) ready to go. I got out of bed shut off the alarm and slowly half away grabbed my pillow and blanket and headed to the car. When I got in my sister Julianna was already sitting in her seat ready to go. We had to wait a few minuets for my mom and dad to get in but they finally did and we started the car and drove off.
The trip was not bad because since we left so early I pretty much slept for half the trip since I stayed up all night to anxious to go to bed because I was exited that we were going down to Ohklahoma. The rest of the trip was very relaxing because since there was only four of us my mom Violet, dad Jerry, Julianna, and I it was not crowed in a seven seater expedition. I actually liked the car trip because Julianna and I had previously collected a bunch of dvds to bring on the trip to keep us entertained. Some times it was hard because we would argue what movie to watch. Until we finally came apone a solution, where she would choose a movie then after that movie I would choose one and the prossess would be repeated to keep it fair and no fighting. Just like that after a few movies and a bunch of pit stops for food and bathrooms we fianlly arived in the little town of Chandler Ohklahoma (about an hour away from Ohklahoma city).
We pulled up to my uncles house which was very nice he had a picket fence go all the way around his property a little pond in the front yard of his house and his little brick house with a garden of flowers and little trees right by his front door. Before we could get out of the car the white olden front door opens and out rushes a stampead of dogs. There was a blue healer female dog named blue, a little short haired brown doxen named baby cakes, and a chuwawa mix named abby. Blue and Abby were both Tommys dogs and Baby Cakes is my aunt kellys' dog. Finally I reach the front door and after being smothered by dog kisses and being covered in drool I notice my aunt Kelly.
I run to Kelly and give her a big hug were once again I am smothered with sloppy kisses this time it was Kellys. I was very happy to see Kelly because I have not seen her in a few months, she moved down here to live with Tommy after my grandma passed away. I look around and instintly I know Kelly has been very busy the place was spotless it even had a new feeling to it because it was so clean even though the house is pretty old. I walked outside to see my uncle Tommy and of course he was with his two horses. The horses did not seem to care that there was company here unlike the dogs that were freaking out running around wagging there tails ferioususly and barking trying to get people to notice them. Finally Tommy comes in execpt for he wasnt alone. He was with a new girl around his age and her name was bambi she was very nice and not shy at all. Bambi was Tommys new girlfriend who lives in the town next to chandler. Later that night I found out that we were going to be going over to bambi's house the next day to celebrate thanksgiving with her family also. Finally after hours of talking and everyone catching up on the current status of everyones life Bambi went home and we all went to bed. It was hard for me to sleep because I was so exited and with meeting bambi finally seeing kelly and tommy again that I stayed up an extra hour watching tv until finally I was able to dwendle off into a deep sleep.
I wake up to this warm tingling feeling on my face and open my eyes and I am blinded by the sunlight. Of course the only ray of sunlight that can pierce the blinds happens to be right were my head lays. I jump out of bed and run outside to see whats going on. It was nine o clock and everyone was already up, most of them had already taken showers and were ready to go. Tommy told me that we were leaving for bambi's in thirty minuets when my mom and kelly return from the store. So I went and took a shower got ready and when I came out here comes my mom and kelly ruslting up a store being loud were it was nice and calm and everyone else was just watching tv. I herd Kelly yelling for me and Julianna to come into the kitchen. When I got in there, there was mom and kelly both holding up these brown and stripped yellow OSU pajamas and T-shirts. At first I just looked at them with a blank stare and was like ok cool. Then kelly said they were big college football fans and on thanksgiving they have college football games, and that it was OSU playing OU (OSU is Oklahoma State University and OU is Oklahoma University). So she wanted us all to wear them becuase they wanted to suport their OSU pride. After everyone got changed into there new team spirt we left to go to bambi's.
We get to Bambi's and I was shocked everyone was wearing red and orange all that said OU. I found it very funny and that they liked the exact opposite team that Tommy and Kelly like. But no one cared we all just laughed then Bambi asked me if I like OSU and I said I dont care I got forced to wear this and we both laughed. Bambi's Family was very nice it was Bambi's sister and her family there with bambi. I liked it because there was another kid my age and me and him just went upstairs to play Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2. I was exited because I have not played this game that much and it was really fun. After an hour of us playing games I got these wonderful smells of such delicouse foods all pour into my nostrils at once. We both looked at eachother threw ourselfs off the bed and ran downstairs to see if it was time to eat.

We both looked at eachother threw ourselfs off the bed and ran downstairs to see if it was time to eat.
There it was pounds of food all spread out onto the kitchen table. I was stuck in a trance just staring at this wonderful food. I rushed to grab a plate to start satisfying my hunger issues. Everyone else was already at the table picking away like little scavangers to at the food. After getting my plate I went to the table and there was turkey, corn bread, mashed potatos, gravy, every possible food combo was here at this table. I stacked mountains of food onto my plate and then went into the living room with everyone else, because their football game has started and everyone was already starting to get rilled up. As everyone else was just staring at the tv I was gorging myself shuffling food into my mouth. Finally I had to stop I could not any more as I felt like I was a round tenis ball with two little stubbed legs. The other teenager and I went back upstairs to play games again because we did not really care about the football game. Finally after the football game was over my family left to go to Tommys house. By then it was pretty late and I was so tired from the food that I ate I walked into Tommys house and went strait to bed. It was a wonderful thanksgiving and I will always remember how much fun I had.
I love those memories too....good job
