Before Thanksgiving break Mr. Pickens talked to us about making special memories. What memories did you make over the break? What are some special things that you hope you will always look back on? These things may be big things, or they may be small. Everyone's memories will be different! Please write a paragraph listing at least 2 things that were memorable from your Thanksgiving break. Please use correct grammar and complete sentences. This assignment is due Wednesday, November 28th.
My example is listed below:
Thanksgiving with my family is something that I always look forward to. It was extra special this year because I was able to spend so much time at home in Birmingham. One of the memories I made was cooking with my mom and brother. My mom showed us how to make her homemade orange rolls that we have not had in forever! Another thing I will look back on is decorating our family Christmas tree. We always do it together as a family, and the Auburn ornament always goes on first! This year we started decorating the tree really late, and didn't finish until 2:30 a.m.! I am very thankful for these memories because they remind me how much God has blessed me.

Thanksgiving with my family is very fun.A memory that I will always remember is the sweet smell of cake,pie.The pie smelled so good that it made my hair stand on end.The cake was so good that I had three pieces "I love Thanksgiving"
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving has all ways been a good time of the year. With the tasty smelling turkey, ham, pie, and desserts! Our family always plays football. we're pretty good I guess. Thats why I love Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHere are some things I remember about thanksgiving. My grandmothers desert. It isn't always the same every year, this year we had chocolate cake with ice cream. It had chocolate cream on top with regular chocolate cake under. Another thing I like are my grandmothers rolls. They are really sweet and soft. Now you know some of the things I remember about thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of thanksgiving is the food and family. I also like relaxing. My uncle makes really good turkey. My grandmother makes really good pie. I love thanks giving.
ReplyDeleteI love Thanksgiving ALOT! I love getting to be with my friends and family! Every year, my family goes to my grandparents house! A day before Thanksgiving, me and my family go to Dolly Wood in Servier ville!This year, my favorite ride was Barnstormer. It is when you go on this arm thing and swing back and forth in like a giant swing! I lossed my stomach alot!Se cond, after we go to Dollywood and get back we spend the night in the "stair room" that's what me and my sister call it:0 :) I love when I wake up and know that it is Thanksgiving!In a few hours, after I eat our big breakfast, we have a sandwich. And then we usually watch a long movie like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!:) Then it will be about 3:00 and we feast away! I enjoy my grandma's chocolate pie! It is really YUM! After we are done we write what we are thankful for on the back of a turkey card and then we tape them on a pen and then we read them. It is really fun and exicting! I love my thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my Thanksgiving memories are
ReplyDelete1.going to Montgomery for my dad's side of the family (they are very fun)and having Thanksgiving dinner (even though I had to eat Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday this year)and 2.going to a Thanksgiving parade or going to a football game, so pretty much all of those are fun memories to me!:p
One of the things I always remember is the rich smell of someone's special Pumpkin pie. Another thing I remember is the smell of dried grass during the football games. I always no matter what remember the closely watched football games by the family.
ReplyDeletethis is mine :)
ReplyDeleteSome things I remember about thanksgiving is the strawberry cake my grandmother makes. I love it. This year she let me put sprinkles on it. It turned out that I was the only one who liked sprinkles. Also my brother and I have a contest. It's different every year. My parents don't do it because they're usually watching football or watching my baby brother. This year it was golf. I lost sadly,but at least I had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is my family's favorite holiday. Where you can eat and talk and praise God. This year was extra special. Our family,my dad,mom, brother,grandmother and me went to Pickwick Pines.Pickwick Pines is a big area where about 400 houses are, all squished together.The houses are like little cabins.The reason why it was so special going to Pickwick pines is, my aunt lives there, and my aunt and uncle are getting divorced so it may be the last time our family gets to go there. My aunt has four boys, their in their twenties, they nor their dad came. So it was just my dad,mom,grandmother,brother,aunt and me. My aunt had just got a new puppy. Her name was Annabel, she was nine weeks.
ReplyDeleteOne memory on Thanksgiving was, our whole family got up and watched the Macy's Day parade. Another was my grandmother always made her secret recipe for gravy. Another was I always help my mom with the mashed potatoes. One memory this Thanksgiving was when my brother tried to drive the golf cart, he was terrible! He went so fast he slung my grandma half way out of the cart, no joke! He even went five feet of the rode and drove in holes!
Another was you know how I was telling you about my aunt's dog? Well,my aunt and I were holding Annabel on the sofa and I gave the dog to my aunt and like five minutes later Annabel jumped out of my aunt's arms and onto the tile floor! I thought she was dead! it was so scary,one second she was in my aunt's hand and then "BAM" she was on the ground! Thank goodness she was okay!
I love thanksgiving, it reminds me of God and everything he has given us, and how we should be thankful for what we have, and not gripe about we want.
A tradition of my family is every year we paint Christmas ornaments. This year painted salt dough ornaments. Another tradition is we always play corn-hole at my Aunt Deena's house,which I'm the defending champion at.
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving was in Tampa, Florida with my grandparents. They had their 50th wedding anniversary at there church. My cousins were also there. We had a very good dinner with lots of turkey and pie. The pumpkin pie was so good with cool whip on top of it. I had a lot of fun. I had a great time with my family
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving took place at my house this year. Every year when my m extended family is with us as well we have a lottery. Its always fun to spend time with them. They always make me laugh even when Im sad. i also remember when my grandma would pumpkin pie. It was o so scrumptious. I love thanksgiving with my family

ReplyDeleteour new tradition is we go to our lake house my dad and I make a meal that we have never made and we had my birthday right before thanksgivin that it
ReplyDeleteThings I remember on Thanksgiving are every one looking through black friday magazines and my uncle sleeping and turkey.
ReplyDeleteOne of my two memories from thanksgiving is that I had a art show of pictures I drew on a light board so that i could see what the real picture looked like. I desided to swell them to my family and ended up making 53.00$ dollars. the second memorie that my family
ReplyDeleteand I took a bunch of pictures together and they looked really good. And thats what I did over thanksgiving break.
I love Thanksgiving!! It is very special to my family and I because it is my Mom's birthday on the 26th and my cousins on the 20th. W@e also go to my grandfather's house and have a thanks giving dinner. All of the boys and me have a game of tackle football. We pretend to be our favorite football player(for me Tim Tebow).
ReplyDeleteThen we go to my other grandmother's house and have another dinner the next day. My uncle flies in from Chicago and we always go on family walks. We also go to UT games together. Go UT :)
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Athens, GA. One special memory from my Thanksgiving was that my dad took us rock climbing at Active Indoor Rock Climbing. The walls were 20 feet high and we had to wear special rock climbing shoes. It was fun! Another memory was eating our Thanksgiving meal at the Georgia Club. We had to wear fancy clothes and they served us good food. We also went to Pump It Up and Chuck E. Cheese. I also loved playing card games with all my relatives. It was a fun Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI had a very nice Thanksgiving.One of my favorite memories is the food. I really like the sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. We have had those every year, but it feels like I like them better this year. We also got our Christmas tree. Our new puppy, Zeke, seemed to like it because he would go up in the corner behind the tree, and when my sister would try and get him, he started chasing her around the it. We have to watch him constantly, because he's a puppy and he likes to chew on things, and we don't want him to get the ornaments. I also liked coming together with my family. I hope Christmas will be as fun!
ReplyDeleteThis Thanksgiving lots of food. We went to this restraunt called Farmers. They had lots of food. I got mashed potatoes, ham, and chocolate cake. I also made soap with my mom. It was very fun. You had to cut the soap then boil it then you put dye in it and put it in the molds last you let it dry. Thats what we did on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at Thankgiving.My family and I always go to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving.They live in Spartanburg SC.My and my grandmouther always makes the sweets and sweetpotato casorol.Once we are all done eating we all sit down and wach the football game .my family does Thanksgiving different than normal people.

ReplyDeleteI had an awesome Thanksgiving. I thank that my first memory is when I was on my way to St. Louis, me and my dad were listening to Sports and Radio Disney. My second memory would have to be eating chocolate pie my step brother made it was really good and the rolls we made where really good to. I thank that we have a lot to talk about at thanksgiving and things to be thankful for. That is what I think thanksgiving is all about. I hope that Christmas will be awesome too.
DeleteThis year, my family and I stayed home, which is very unusual because we always go visit family in Wisconsin. So my memories were very different this year. My first unusual memory was that we put up our Christmas tree up. Normally we would wait till November30th. Dad and i picked out a "Charlie-Brown Tree" meaning we chose a small, plump tree. Mom made all her nice, fragile ornaments go on first. She also made all our ornaments coordinate on the half of our tree facing our nicer living room. The other half of our tree facing the "wreck room", the messier living room we could put them on without having to think, "would that coordinate?"We finished decorating in about 3 hours. My next memory would be watching a movie. This year it was "Brave." My family and I also had apple and pumpkin cheese cake with gingersnap crust. Me, I'm the not-so-pumpkin-pie person, so I had apple instead. I had a wonderful, memorable Thanksgiving!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod is awesome. he blessed me with everything plus more.All the thanksgivings that i remember were all different. We usually play croquet, and allways have a ham my granddad makes. after christmas thanksgiving ismy favorite holliday. thanksgiving is always an awesome time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is an awesome holiday. We go to my Dad's parents house in Texas to celebrate. My Grandma always cooks and my uncle brings the turkey. We used to watch the Texas at A&M game after eating but then A&M got scared and left the conference. After we eat we would all nap until my Grandma called for us to go and decorate her house. My Mom would always have to do the tree because no one else could do it right. Thanksgiving is a great holiday and I can't wait until next year to celebrate again!
ReplyDeleteFor Thanksgiving, my family took a road trip to Lawton,Oklahoma to visit my grandparents and cousins. But before we got there, we stopped at my great uncle Joe's house. I rode horses and four wheelers!! It was beautiful weather, and we had a lot of fun. On Thanksgiving Day, we had delicious food. We had turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, rolls, and pumpkin pie.My great grandmother also came over to eat some delicious food.Those were some of my Thanksgiving memories.
ReplyDeleteFor this years Thanksgiving i went to disney world. I rode space moutian for the first time.Then we went to downtown disney and I built a mustang black at one of the building places . IT WAS HARD..!!!! :( Also I remember that last year my cousins, uncle and grandfather went skeet shooting at my grandfathers farm. That day my mom and dad went to court in ethiopia to pass so that we could get Hiatt. Now this is also a memrible thanksgiving because this is the first year Hiatt is with us for thanksgiving. Those are my memories from Thanksgiving. :)!
ReplyDeleteMy family always eat turkey and rolls. We always watch football it is most all of our favorite thing to do but we also fun to eat turkey. But we go on a walk almost every time. But we have to miss football!So those are some of the things we do for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving break was the best there is. First, we went to the mountains, a five hour drive. My cousins came and stayed for one night. Then monday we went mountain biking. It was an eleven mile trail, with bumps,and steep uphill and downhill, without knowing how long it was. Awesome right? Second- I went to my other cousins house Tuesday night. I had BBQ Wednesday, turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and apple pie Thursday, and clam chowder friday. Saturday I went to a creek and explored. Sunday we got up said goodbye and left, and drove eleven hours home. Don't you think that was the best Thanksgiving EVER?
ReplyDeletePlease reply to that last question.
every thanksgiving we eat eat my uncles house and my grandma cooks alot of the food. And on the wensday before thankgivings all of the men sleep out in a cabin and go hunting in the morning but you have to be 14 to do that and we always have a smal footbal game before we eat and thats thanksgiving for me
ReplyDeleteMy family got up early on Thanksgiving day and drove to my grandparents' house in Chattanooga. We all had a wonderful meal that evening at my aunt and uncle's house. One of my favorite memories was when we finally got to eat the delicious pumpkin pie for dessert. The day after Thanksgiving was special to me because my grandfather bought a Christmas tree. My brother and I decorated it with family ornaments. It looked beautiful when we finished. God has blessed me with a loving family.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving was great this year! We stayed home and had the entire family for dinner. I helped mom cook delicious food with Christmas music playing all day. I laughed at mom in her silly apron. We sang along to the music. Most of the time, we didn't exactly know the words which made us laugh even more. Of course, we tasted everything just to be sure it was just right. This year we bought a new 9 foot Christmas tree which looked pretty plain coming out of the box but now every branch is filled with ornaments and sparkles like a real Christmas tree. I love to unwrap all the ornaments one by one because each one tells a different story. When we travel to some place new, we always buy an ornament to remember our adventure. Some ornaments make noise, some are delicate glass, some light up, some are new and some are old. After the big meal, my dad, my brothers, and I put white lights on the house while mom put garland on the porch. By the time we all finished it was dark outside. Feeling very blessed, we all stood in the drive-way as dad flipped the switch.
ReplyDeleteWhat i always remember about Thanksgiving is all my family and the delicious food. The food is so good becouse every one has a diffrent tast. Some of my family will like sweet, some would like spicey, or bitter. Something I love about my family at THanksgiving is we always have some kid of givaway. So if you put your name is a bowl you will have a chance to win! I have never one but some of my Aunts and my other family members have. Another thing I love about THanksgivng is some of the people there i have never seen in about 1 or 2 years! ZSo its really nice to rejoyn the family and have a wonderfull, tastey, and most of all the most best meal ill have in a long time!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time over Thanksgiving break. One of the memories I had was hunting with my dad in Arkansas. It was extra special because my grandpa got to come! I also shot my first duck. Another memory I had was cooking a pie with my mom. We baked a chocolate caramel pecan pie! It would have been great, but I don't like nuts. All four of my grandparents got to come and have Thanksgiving with us. The best part is spending time with my family!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time over Thanksgiving break. One of the memories I had was going over to my Aunt's house to have lunch for Thanksgiving. My favorite food would be my Aunt's fried okra, its so good. Then we go over to my other Aunt's house to have dinner for Thanksgiving. My favorite food would be my Mom's Broccoli Casserole. The best part about Thanksgiving is that we can be with our family. Those are my memories from Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWell every Thanksgiving my sister and I sleep over at my Grams's house with my three cousins, Chandler, Justin, and Brenden. Another memory is that we always make gingerbread man and women. We always have Mickey Mouse pancakes and bacon, eggs ,and milk and orange juice for breakfast. Of course we do this every year and those are my memories.
ReplyDeleteI loved my Thanksgiving break!We always get advent calenders.We have 4 on 4 basketball games. We always have Thanksgiving at my Bebe's house.All of our cousins are there too.I love spending time with my family. I always enjoy seeing my family
ReplyDeleteI had a good time over thanksgiving break.One of my memories was i got braces i was a little scared at first. Then me and my family stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. I had a good time over thanksgiving break.
ReplyDeleteSome of my Thanksgiving memories are helping my mom cook fruit salad the day before Thanksgiving. I also get to eat the fruit salad and that is also one of my memories. My last memory is watching movies with my cousins. I love thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteI had a good Thanksgiving this year. One of my memories was the taste of my granda's homemade trifle. When I eat it, this is what goes through my head: Mmmmmhhhhhh. This is great! Can I have more? Another, maybe not as great, Thanksgiving memory is when I was down in Birmingham(Sorry Miss Holliday I like it ,but it is not Nashville) my mom, dad, sister, brother and me had Little Ceaser's pizza for Thanksgiving dinner. These are the highlights of my Thanksgivings.
I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving this year. My mom made her home chess pie. One of my favorite thing I did was help make food with my mom. We all got to use my mom favorite plates and we never get to use those. My favorite memory was when my I got to say the prayer for the first time ever. These are my Thanksgiving memory for this year that were most important.
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving Break was pretty BORING. Half the break was lying on the couch doing absolutly nothing, until Wednesday. I went hunting with a family friend, his son, and Clayton Pickens. Because of my concusion, I didn't get to run the Boulevard Bolt with my family. Instead I had to stay at my grandmother's house with my younger cousins and watch the Thanksgiving Day parade on tv. The highlight of my week was watching Alabama destroy Auburn, which still involved sitting on the couch. Although I had SOME fun, it was'nt the best break ever.
ReplyDelete*wasn't
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving break was very fun! I got to spend time with my cousins playing football. It was so much fun that we almost stayed outside the entire day. Another memory that I will have is eating my Meemaw's turkey. It was amazing! I loved getting to watch football with my dad, uncle, aunt, cousin, and Peepaw. Although Auburn lost we still had a great time as a family. On Sunday we got to decorate the Christmas tree. I love putting on my favorite ornaments. Aubie Claus and Santa Spidey! I like decorating the tree because the ornaments make me and my sister laugh when we remember how we got the ornaments. Overall my break was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of Thanksgiving is every year we go to my cousin's house. For dinner I always eat a turkey leg. Those legs are huge and have a lot bones in them.My second favorite memory from this year, is when my brother, Cole, announced that he and his wife are expecting triplets. That was really big news especially since we already have Logan and Harper and Knox. I just hope for the sake of our family, one day I don't come in and say I'm expecting quadruplets.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of Thanksgiving is every year we run the Boulevard Bolt.It is a 5 mile run.After we go to are friends house,and get hot coco.My second favorite is making mash potatos. I like peeling the potatos. And now I know the recipe.I cant wait till next Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteMy Thanksgiving this year was one of the best Thanksgivings ever!!My whole family and my brothers girlfriend decorated our tree.A family tradition my family does is drink eggnog out of fancy wine glasses.Also,is we always put our old dog Brodies orament on first,but this year my Mom broke it so we were sad.Another tradition is we eat a big Thanksgiving dinner.This year we had Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes.We also go around the table telling what we are thankful for.I said for going to Lipscomb and because of having Miss Holladay as a teacher.I love Thanksgiving!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is always a great day for me. We always go to either my grandparents house, or my other grandmothers house. This year, we went to Memphis. My grandparents live there. On the day of thanksgiving, we drive to Bay, Arkansas. I will always remember seeing my cousins. Sometimes I even have new cousins! Every year when we go to Bay, Arkansas, I remember walking through the door into the house and everyone looking and saying "Oh look! Catherine's here!" I LOVE thanksgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteThroughout the years, my family and I have created many memories. One of the memorable things we did this year was breaking the wish bone. My grandmother always saves it for my brother and me. We anxiously wait for the bone to dry before we can snap it in half. Once it was ready, my brother brought the bone into my room and told me it was time. When we broke it in half, I was the one who got the side in which your wish would come true. I am eagerly awaiting until next year to see if my luck continues. Another tradition we had over Thanksgiving break this year was watching the Christmas movie, "Elf." We always watch "Elf" as our first movie to get us into the Christmas spirit. This was the first time that we had put our tree up after Thanksgiving, so I was pleasantly surprised when my mom suggested that we go ahead and watch "Elf." I really enjoyed this year's Thanksgiving break and can't wait to see what Thanksgiving memories we will make in the future.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrated Thanksgiving with my mom's family this year and got to stay in Nashville. My two brothers and I went to the farm with my grandfather. This is one of my favorite things to do because we get to ride the four wheeler all over the farm, laughing and screaming the whole time. We came back and had a delicious Thanksgiving lunch cooked by my mom and grandmother. My favorite dishes were my mom's sweet potato casserole and of course, the turkey. One thing that was different than any other year was that we are now a family of 6! My new sister, Margaret, makes every family event so much fun. Everybody loves to be around her because she laughs all the time. I hope that we will get to make more family memories that will be as fun as the ones we made this Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHow did you type this when you on the stage at 7:05???
DeleteOver Thanksgiving break I went to Alabama to my grandparents house. We had turkey,mashed potatoes,pie, and greenbeans. We went shopping at the mall and raked my grandparents house. When we came back home we put up our Christmas tree an decorated the house for Christmas. And thats what we did over Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOur Thanksgiving is no small thing. I mean, EVERYBODY comes that is even distantly related. I don't know half the people there. Each year, we play some interesting and interactive games. Normaly, Aunt Debbie and G-pa organize the games. This year, we played "Wits And Wagers," a betting game in which you write your answer on a white board, and bet on which answer is correct. The correct tile is either the closest one without going over, or the exact answer. We also played a game in which our family makes a big circle, and we toss a tennis ball around the circle to random people, calling out their names as we do so. You memorize who throws you it and who you throw to, and then you add balls, until you get to 6 tennis balls. Every year we also have an Annual Cornhole Tournament. We pair up evenly, and we play to the top. Mainly, my cousin, Garret, wins. It really doesn't matter who his partner is. He wins.
ReplyDeleteOne of my two favorite things of this holiday was the way we do things. We all go out and hit each other with the left overs on uor plates!!! My second favorite thing of this holiday is to be with my funny,obnoxious,fun,and crzy family. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the tings I did this Thanksgiving is...
ReplyDeleteI went to my uncle Beto's house and got to see my cousins Destiny and Dezien. Destiny is fourteen and Dezien is ten. We went to the barn and were playing with the pony's they had. We ate mac & cheese, turkey, ham, cupcakes, pecan pie, and bread.
My second thing I did this Thanksgiving is...
My cousins and I had a sleepover and we made gingerbread cookies and watched a movie. Then we went to bed at 1:05am and my brother slept on a couch with me, and my cousins slept on a couch too, and at 2:04 Christian, my brother went to sleep with our cousins so there was one on a couch and three on the other couch so it was so funny.
Mason Long #10 This Thanksgiving my family did not have a traditional Thanksgiving. We went to Florida for my sister to play in Disney's Junior Soccer Showcase. My cousins and I went to Disney World. My most memorable part of the weekend was going to Cirque Du Soleil show. My second most memorable time was watching the fire dancer at Disney's Polynesian Luau. My third memorable thing was the Monorail. All of these memories were very fun and exciting.
ReplyDeleteThis year was our first year going to flordia for thanksgiving.We had a big party at my aunt and uncles.Most my famally was there.There were 29 peaple at our thanksgiving table and about 7 tables put together to make one big table.I remember the picher of the exploded turky that my cousens made.The last thing is I remember the prayer.we all stood around the kichen holding hands wile one person prays.I loved my thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteI liked it when I went to Ceders of Lebanon State Park. Before we ate, my dad and I played with NERF guns outside. At dinner, I had nice, hot turkey with a Coca Cola, and of course, fresh dessert. When I got home, I did the usual, video games and TV. All I know is that I can't wait till next year!
ReplyDeleteI love Thanksgiving! I look toward it every year! one of the times I remember we were waiting to get our turkey. After an hour my mom called my brother and dad and asked them where they were. They said they were still waiting for our turkey. After another round of an hour. We called them back. This time, my mom was really furious for waiting. So my mom told my dad to go up there and asked what was taking the turkey so long, they said they lost our order! So we had no choice but to just get a raw turkey and my mom would just have to cook it. My mom was not very happy about this idea but we did it anyway!
