 * SARAH NELL'S GREAT THANKSGIVING**

I woke up and went straight out to my grandmother's house. All of my cousins were there except for one person, which was my cousin Liza. She lives in New York City. She was flying in and everyone was nervous because she did not get to Albany at the time she told us. When I got to the house, my two cousins Aidan and Liam, were fighting over the swing outside on the playground. Molly, my cousin, was trying to make them stop fighting. Then I went inside and saw my grandmother cooking. Then I saw my grandpoppy watching golf with my Uncle Mark; so I decided to go cook with my grandmother and get everything ready for the feast!

When I went into the kitchen she was doing everything. The kitchen smelled so good it was like I was in a dream! So then I decided to help her out. It seemd like she was worried about something. She said that I should go play with my cousins and not worry about a thing. So I decided to go check and see what my cousin Mercer was doing. When I was walking down the hall I heard music coming from the playroom. She was dancing like a gypsy!

After a while I decided to just watch t.v. All of a sudden I heard screaming, yelling,and fighting. All of the commotion was because Liza was home! She looked like a brand new present with a bunch of sparkles on it! She looked so mature for her age. I realized when I saw her that she was much older since the last time I saw her.

By the time she got home it was time to eat. The food was delicous, undescribable, wonderful, and addictive. I'm not kidding! I just kept on eating and eating so much. After I ate I felt like I was going to throwup. Do you know that feeling that you have when you have butterflies in your stomach? That is exactly what I felt like. Then everyone decided to watch t.v.

After a while when it started to get dark outside we decided to play a game called Grey Wolf. It is like hide and seek. First, two people hide and then the rest of the people count to thirty or fifty. After counting, the people go and try to find the two people who hid. They are the Grey Wolf. If the people who hid are found, they yell "Grey Wolf!!!" really loud so those people on the other side of the house can hear them. My sister, Anna, and I were the Grey Wolf. We decided to hide behind this weird air condtioning box near the laundry room. My cousins and my sister Lydia, could not find us for a hour. Anna and I sat and crouched and scrunched until we thought we would die! And the worst part was I had to go to the bathroom! I was worried when I saw Aidan and Liam because I heard them tell Lydia that they saw us; but they didn't! So then they called Anna's cell phone and we tried to turn it on silent, but it was too late. Then we went after them because they yelled "Grey Wolf"! After that everyone was tired and it was time to go home. I would see all of my cousins the next day.
