Thanksgiving (November 25th, 2011)

I have something to explain: I really am not in Washington. I'm in a town called Reston that's really close to it, so I think of this as that I am in the outskirts of Washington, but technically I'm not. Anyways, about the title of this post. I know that Thanksgiving was on the 24th, but today's the 25th, so I'm just putting the date of today on the top, not yesterday. Thanksgiving was very different from other Thanksgivings I've had, because I had the feast halfway between lunch and dinner! my cousins called it linner. We never had dinner, just a choice of pie. There were three pies: apple pie, chocolate pecan pie, and carrot cake. I naturally picked the one I had never tried before and went for the chocolate pecan pie. It was delicious, handbaked by my aunt. It tasted like she had melted fudge into the crust, and then put pecans and top and added chocolate and sugar on top of them! As I told you we would, we had turkey AND ham. I had seconds of the ham. A list of the other foods (I may miss some): stuffing, mashed potatoes,bread, cranberry jelly, gravy, butter, some thing with mashed sweet potato with pecans and sugar on top of them (that was the last thing I ate, you know, best for last!). It was delicious,  but this morning I was so hungry from the shortage of dinner that I ate literally 5 crepes (french pancakes that are better than normal pancakes). I am sure that this was probably the funnest Thanksgiving ever! Plus, it was a strange one. I was working really hard to make a present for one of my friends because her birthday party is going to be like the same night I'm going to come to Denver (saturday). I hope she likes it!
