Happy Thanksgiving

Feliz accion de gracias! I didn't know what thanksgiving would be in spanish, so that's the translator's version. For Thanksgiving I ate a delicious cajun turkey at my dad's house among other things. Then at 6 I ate a yummy ham at my mom's house. I also ate 3 pieces of pie. Then my family played apples to apples and skipbo. All in all I had a wonderful thanksgiving!
