Maria's Thanksgiving

Maria's Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was Maria's favorite holiday. Her whole family came to visit. And there was always lots of good food to eat.

Maria's mom and grandmother made turkey and tamales. Aunt Carla brought the stuffing. Aunt Liz brought black beans. And Uncle Carlos brought sweet potato pie.

After dinner, the women talked. The men watched football. And the kids played games.

But this Thanksgiving, there was a snowstorm. Nobody could come. " Thanksgiving is ruined, " said Maria.

Maria and her family went outside. They saw some of their neighbors. Their neighbors were unhappy, too.
