Turkey and Birthday...Pie?; Nov 12 Prompt

Turkey and Birthday…Pie?

Since Thanksgiving has come and gone, and I am writing this blog at the end of the semester, being the wonderful procrastinator that I am, I will simply write what I did for Thanksgiving this year.

My mother’s brother and father came out from Colorado to spend the holiday with her and my family. I had not seen my uncle in several years, and I had not seen my grandpa since Christmas 2010, so it was really nice to have the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with them.

The Thanksgiving holiday holds a little more for me personally because my birthday usually falls on the same week. This year, my birthday happened to fall on Black Friday, the 23^rd, and it was not just any birthday, but it was my thirtieth birthday. I was really grateful for the chance I had to celebrate Thanksgiving and my thirtieth birthday with my uncle and grandpa in addition to my family.
