My own thanksgiving

​

         I'm the roughest, toughest, cowgirl in the west! With my friend and big sister, Lily, and my cousins, Max and Anderson, anything is possible. Giddy up, horsie, Yee haw! POW! I just shot a bad guy! Max got one too! “Time for lunch!” somebody says to my sidekicks and me. I come inside and see Aunt Manda holding my baby sister, Willow. We are going to go eat lunch, but I'm not entirely sure what we are having. Oh, Spaghettios! They look like little numbers and letters. Max says to me, with Spaghettios shoved in his face, “Hey Reese, wasn't playing cowboys fun?” I replied with, “Yes! It was awesome! Great idea. What game should we play next?” Max wanted to play army. We said no. Lily said let´s play gorillas. I said sure.

      We run upstairs to our bedrooms and start to get into the jungle. Anderson is Daddy, Lily is Mommy, Max is my brother, who is 6, and I am a 4 year old gorilla. I’m gonna learn a new sport with Daddy today! I'm excited. We play a game with a ball, and I forgot the name of it, but it's fun. It has been about 30 minutes, and we are going to go watch some TV while Lily helps Aunt Manda cook. We are watching Spongebob, and I’m laying on the floor with Max rolling around. Anderson starts to tackle Max, and I join in. Finally, it's time for dinner. I get some Sprite to drink and some corn, turkey, and green beans to eat. I sit next to Max and Lily, and start diving in. We talk about the fun day we have had including the jeopardy we played before lunch and the breakfast we had. And the day isn't even over yet. I love Thanksgiving!!
