Belated Thanksgiving Post

                  So, I had the idea over Thanksgiving Break that for my blog that week I would share a short, 30 second video of my Thanksgiving. But, as I was importing footage, I realized that we didn't have a blog post due that week. So I decided to post it now. I was going to make a 5x5, but then I got an adorable shot of my three year-old cousin singing a song she learned in school, and the shot was longer than 5 seconds. Instead it's just basically a video including a few things from my Thanksgiving. Here it is:

The shots:
-My three year old cousin Lucy singing "Turkey Dinner"
-Our turkey (it was 22lbs... I'm actually not sure if that means it was really big or average)
-Family at the table
-Another shot of everyone around the table
-Dessert!
-The candles... I was trying to be artsy but it didn't really work since I was shooting on my iphone

                    To me, Thanksgiving is really about spending time with family. Every year I can remember we've always gone to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving. This year, however, my aunt, uncle, and cousins were coming from Colorado so we decided to have Thanksgiving at our house. It was a little bigger than usual, but still really fun. I got to see a few of my dad's sibilings (he has seven) and their kids, as well as my cousin's grandma. It was a really relaxing break filled with ping pong, yahtzee, walks, and just hanging out. Unfortunately our next break isn't for three more weeks, but I'm counting down the days!
                   I'm going to try to get back to posting about once a week, and next week I'll probably write about our new documentary project, we're filming street musicians!

  1. I remember singing the Turkey Dinner song in Pre-K! I think you definitely succeeded in making the candle shot artsy :)
