The leaves were brown and the weather was cold, but not unbearably cold. The morning had just started and the sun was barely out. I was eight years old at the time and it was Thanksgiving Day, and on top of the various assortment of food, my family and I had relatives coming to our house to partake in this Thanksgiving feast. My mother had gotten numerous amounts of groceries from the store throughout the week, including potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, mix for stuffing, a humongous ham, and to top it if we had the staple for every Thanksgiving, a turkey. I could already smell the scent of a honey baked ham in the oven as I got out of bed and started my day in the bathroom.

My step-mom's mom was traeling to our house at seven o'clock in the morning. My dad, step-mom, sister, step-brother, and me were waiting at the house for her. We had some sandwiches to snack on.

The day after Thanksgiving my family had a reunion for my grandmother on a boat because

I can’t remember the year exactly, I was in a fire on the monorail at Disney World, one of the happiest places on the planet. My friend and I were facing backwards in the front car when we noticed as we came around the corner a great orange glow from the back car. The train stopped and people in the back car started climbing out of the windows up on the top of the car. So we were sitting there, smoke-filled the doors popped open and the windows popped open, and we sat there for three hours until the fire department picked everyone off with ladders and cherry pickers.

We went inside got two backpacks for each of us. We stuffed all the food and water we can to survive. Then we took some blankets so we could chill out and sleep somewhere because the 8 twisters were near. While i was running out of the house i heard my pig stuck in the closet so I grabbed him and left.

December 24th, we went to Yoakum, Tx for a family Christmas party. Since Yoakum is somewhat far we all decided to spend the night. There were about 25 people spending the night so we were all figuring out where to sleep. 4 people each in a bedroom, 2 on the bed, 2 on the floor and there still wasn’t space. There were 2 couches in the living room and my mom and my little siblings decided to sleep there.

The first person to show up to my party was M, then G and J. After them Ma, S, T, and H got there. We did Cake and Presents and then M, Ma, S, and I went to my little brother’s football game, it was in Soda springs. When we got there it was so cold and I couldn’t stand it.

All I could think about was the race. My friends who have been racing for a few years were giving me tips; they would also throw in a joke about me losing. They were trying to make my nerves stop racing around and just sit still. I could close my eyes and picture the whole race in my head. Then I realized I was still by the fire when I could feel the warm bursts of heat from the fire on my face as I stared at the glowing stars.
