Thanksgiving dinner

For thanksgiving, my whole family comes over to my family. We are a lot of people, so we have to make large servings. We usually make a lot things, like: turkey, yams with marshmallows, yams with pecans, stuffing, corn bread, gravy, salad, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and other foods. We also have some arts-and crafts activities. When we were little, we would trace our hands on construction paper. Then we would use feathers, glitter, and googly eyes too decorate them. This is an easy way to entertain the young ones. And best of all you can write your names on them and use them as name spots for the table.
A couple of years ago, we made two different types of yams. We made yams with marshmallows and yams with pecans and a lot of brown sugar. We had a small complication with the yams with marshmallows, when we were taking them out of the oven. We left them in too long and too close to the top of the oven. When we checked on them, the marshmallows were on fire. In the end, we saved the yams and they tasted delicious.
On thanksgiving you always need various side dishes to fill up everyone’s tummies. We usually make gravy, corn bread, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad and other things. All of these complement the thanksgiving turkey beautifully. I love having thanksgiving dinner. It brings my whole family together and all the food is very YUMMY!!! Hope you make something yummy this thanksgiving!!! 
