#14 - M'Kiyah Baird: My Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving involves a night at my grandmother’s house with my cousins, aunt, and uncle. It used to be just about nine of us but my uncle got a new girlfriend and proceeded to have two more kids with her plus the two of her own. We have a lot of kids running around a small house. My grandmother’ is always a little worried when we come over because she thinks we’ll break something. My mom cooks all of the food and my uncle takes all of it for himself. We plan for Christmas sometimes and my aunt stays on her phone. The adults listen to old motown music and ask me to sing it because I’m the singer in the family. My two cousins and I all play an instrument so we all have to give a performance. My thanksgiving is generally pretty fun. The food is great and the people are fun.
