My family is my community
by Ellie Parker
Some things that make our family different
My family is mixed so we have different skin tones so my mom is African American so she has some Southern and American in her. My dad is American so he has some German and Irish. And so we do all sorts of things also we don't just stick to our regular traditions. Like on Thanksgiving we change up what people usually eat on Thanksgiving, by eating chicken instead of turkey, and our family sometimes we get to pick out our own presents instead of our family doing it.
My moms side
So on my moms side of the family I'm African American, and so on that side of the family and so we have our different things we do.
My dads side
On my dads I am part Irish and to I celebrate St. Patties day we do Irish things also we have chicken a lot.
Another part of my dads side
We don't really celebrate our German part of our heritage.
I am mostly American
I am mostly American and I do a lots of American things because I live in Minnesota and I do like everything that has something to do with American things. Also think people would do great in the community. And our community is pretty good as far as it is right now. And I do think it would be good if people did join our community because we have a pretty good one. It is important and cool to me because there are people willing to help our community and there is a lot of nice people and our religions make our community great because we are willing to make changes and try new things.
My grandma
On every Christmas and sometimes Thanksgiving we have gumbo. My grandma is important to me and my family community because she makes the best food ever and she's crazy but I love her.
Christmas!!!!!!
I celebrate Christmas so we we eat gumbo, greens, chicken , and cornbread ,and loads of delicious foods. Then, we open our presents on Christmas morning.
My sister
Me and my sister have a love hate relationship. One thing that I don't like about my sister is that she is messy, but one thing I love about her is that she is wild like me.
