I woke up to the sound of  screaming children. Yep, it’s definitely Thanksgiving, I thought to myself. I went downstairs to find the house filled with family. My mom and grandma were already busy cooking the much needed food for the day ahead. The Macy’s Day Parade quietly played on the TV, like it does every year. My Thanksgiving break has just begun.

Later on the food was ready and as we ate in the big dining room that we only use for special occasions, I smiled. I loved being with my family. The Texas game roared from inside my parent’s room. Everything was just as it should be!
