Traditions With the Danas

Yeah I know. It's Christmas and we're talking about Thanksgiving. It's just because I'm lazy.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because you don't have to worry about getting presents or getting the right costume. All you have to worry about is food! We have the most traditions with my mom's side of the family during Thanksgiving. On Wednesday we go to my aunt Stacy's house and stuff the turkey. This is a tradition we have done ever since I can remember.

We also take pictures of all the new babies and hold them up by the turkey. I'm pretty sure we have a picture of every baby in my family with a turkey. This is a goofy tradition, but we love it! 

Then on Thursdays we go to my Grandparents house and stuff ourselves with as much food as we can eat!  

This is a picture of our Thanksgiving dinner last year. This year it was just my family, my aunt's family, and my grandparents. 

The best part of Thanksgiving is on Saturday. On Saturday we go back to my grandparents and have a mexican feast. We use the leftover turkey and make flautas, eat enchiladas, and down our 'family secret' salsa.  Thanksgiving is the best!

The Season of Food

First off, I'm sorry I took so long to post, but I'm not going to give you a lame excuse because I hate when people do that.  (Me and my siblings made Thanksgiving dinner all by ourselves.) So this is just going to be a quick little post. 

In my opinion, Thanksgiving has always been one of the "big three" holidays:  Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.   Some of the things we do around Thanksgiving are:

Drive up Provo Canyon. 

Make Thanksgiving dinner all together.  (16 pies!) 

Shove our faces with delicious food.  (I made that turkey!) 

And then, though it's not really Thanksgiving, the day after, we set up Christmas decorations. 

My Thanksgiving traditions.

 My many Thanksgiving traditions are:  Playing in the leaves at our park.

Having dinner with the cousins.

This was all made out of candy.

 Every year we go to Las Vegas!  All my cousin, aunts and uncles, come from everywhere and we have a huge dinner at my Aunt Dyana's house.  It is so fun!  We also swim!  I LOVE Thanksgiving!

This is only half of my cousins!
