The day before Thanksgiving we were out shopping because we were going to go to host it that year. I had invited Sandra but she declined the invitation but Momba and his family had accepted my invitation. John, Steven, Shawn, Brione and Desmond had showed up for the celebration. Flo, Opal, and Ivy were quite busy with the preparations. I linked up with the boys to go have a game at the gym due to the holidays there was a lot of people home from school so that gym was packed as we ran a few games against multiple teams.

Some of the players from the University of Maryland had shown up so we ran a game against them but we lost. They were extremely good and athletic they were able to block some of my shots which surprised even some of my teammates. The person that stood out the most on my team was Momba due to his height he was able to keep up with the players. After we lost them they tried to recruit us but we ended up telling them that we will be coming to that school after we graduate from high school.

They were surprised that we were still in high school and we were able to keep up with them to finish a close game. As soon as they figured I could shoot they started cover me even harder playing bigger defense on me, so it was a little bit hard to get free for a shot. I started to give the ball to Momba who had a height advantage over them.

Momba had grown quite a bit when we entered High School, during that time he was at 7 foot dominating everybody that we came against with his defensive style of play and my offensive style of play to complement his defense we were a unstoppable Force but the Maryland players ended up still beating us. After the game we said our goodbyes then headed home. The next day we all join back up for a nice Thanksgiving dinner with our family members. John and his whole family had came through so it was nice to have a lot of people in a house for a change.

We had all kinds of dishes from Jollof Rice to Turkey to cheesecake for dessert. It truly looked like a feast for Kings as everybody sat down and said their Grace we dug in after. The table looked chaotic as everybody was trying to find what they wanted to eat. I started aiming for the drumsticks of the turkey but somebody had grabbed of the drumstick so I had to fight for the second but last one which was always my favorite piece, but as soon as I had grabbed it Opal had also grabbed that piece making it a staredown.

I told her to back off that was my piece and I got it first but she refused to give in as eventually we decided to do rock paper scissors to determine who would win the last drumstick. I cheated a little bit by using my time freeze to change my decision as soon as I saw that I was about to lose so eventually I was able to win the drumstick as she punted but I didn't care as I ate it while laughing at her. I was so thankful for my family and friends when I was looking around seeing everybody happily eating their food.

I made a toast for the upcoming years of success that we were about to have, after eating we all watched the movie Home Alone 2, and at midnight I kicked everybody out of my house because we had to be up early to do Black Friday shopping. I wanted to get a few new things for the house including TVs for all the rooms. I said thank you to everybody as they left my house. They were telling me that they had a great time and then hopefully next year we can do this again.

After sleeping for a few hours we went to Best Buy and the place was packed. I didn't really mind it as we waited for them to open the store, as soon as they opened the store the crowd rushed in. One guy had tripped and fell has people started stepping over him to get inside, I quickly stopped time and went to save him. When the time came back on he was surprised to see that he had been saved and was very grateful to me. We continued on and did our shopping to get everything that we needed on the low price. After we went out to eat and came home to just hanged out while enjoying each other's company.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!!
