Assignment #14 - Daniel Kolpek

My Thanksgiving is pretty ordinary. About two years ago, my sister got married so for the past few years our Thanksgiving tradition has been a bit different. Now for Thanksgiving we drive up to Evansville, Indiana where my sister and brother-in-law live. My grandma rides with my mom, my dad, and me. We bring the food since my sister Jeslyn and brother-in-law Josh don't have a lot of time to prepare Thanksgiving. Josh's family also comes and brings some food. When we get to their apartment, my mom and grandma immediately start to prepare the big dinner. It usually consists of turkey, country ham, dinner rolls, stuffing, homemade green beans, corn pudding, and both pumpkin and derby pie for desert. After we finish eating we socialize for about an hour and then we start solving a thousand piece puzzle, which has been a Thanksgiving tradition in Josh's family. We usually get the border done and start the middle before we can't take it anymore. To finish up the day we watch movies or play games until it gets late. After that I stay at the apartment while my family goes back to the hotel. Jeslyn, Josh, and I always stay up all night and go Black Friday shopping. Thanksgiving is always a great holiday and an awesome time with my family.
