Thanksgiving Break

My Thanksgiving break has gone by so fast and I wish that I could redo my break. My break started on Tuesday because I only had one class so I went to my class and came home and started baking. I knew that I wanted to spread out my baking into two days so that I wouldn't get overwhelmed. I spent two hours baking an apple pie cheesecake and my entire house smelled like apples and cinnamon. My mom's birthday is November 24th and this year it landed on the day before Thanksgiving so I was very frustrated when I ordered my mom's gift three weeks before her birthday and it had yet to arrive. The gift was being sent with FedEx and every time I tracked the package, it said that it was delayed but it hadn't moved for two weeks. I contacted FedEx and they, unfortunately, lost my package and couldn't do anything for me. I then contacted the company that I ordered the gift from and they luckily gave me a refund for the lost package. Since I suspected that I wouldn't get the package in time, I had ordered a backup gift so that my mom wouldn't be left without one. I don't know if anyone reading this can relate but every year before a big holiday, my mom decides to deep clean the entire house and when I was younger I hated every moment of it. My job has always been to dust the furniture and polish things so that everything is pretty and shiny but when I was younger, I would pout the entire time and I would try to get out of it.  On Thanksgiving Day, I helped my mom cook and then quickly got ready to join my boyfriend at his Thanksgiving dinner. I ate way too much but I had a really nice time seeing his family and getting to know new people. My boyfriend then went along with me to my aunt's house where my Thanksgiving dinner was being held and it was his first time meeting my cousins and aunts and uncles. I couldn't eat very much since I already had dinner with his family but I somehow managed to fit one more plate of food into my stomach. I am so thankful for my friends and family and I have no clue what I would do without them. They are my biggest supporters and are always there for me when I need them. Now my question to you is, what are you thankful for?
