What is your favorite thing about fall? Mine is Thanksgiving dinner. Every year my family travels to my family’s tree farm. The tree farm is a big forest where we grow pine trees and there is a house in it where we hang out if we visit. On Thanksgiving my family and I and all our cousins, aunts, and uncles, and grandparents go there. Everyone brings food for dinner. When we arrive there, me and my mom work on making her scrumptious pumpkin biscuits. I usually devour three! Once they are done we get all the tables, chairs, and decorations. While the parents bake a mouthwatering meal and set up, my sisters and cousins and I play together. Once people begin arriving, we welcome them in and we arrange everything they bring on a table, grab plates, and find our food. Once we’re all settled and sitting down, someone says a prayer and we eat! After dinner, we have dessert. One of the best desserts is Aunt Martha’s pretzel salad. It has whipped cream, pretzels, and jello! It’s delicious. Once everyone leaves we clean up the food and tables. Each Thanksgiving dinner is always exciting!
