(A/N: Now it is time for Chapter 3. Okay, I'll start it right now so you don't have to be in suspense for long.)
While the family enjoyed the parade, they heard a knock at the door.
"I got it!" said Molly, and she went to the door and opened it to see...
"Grandma! Happy Thaksgiving!" Molly exclaimed.
"Happy Thanksgiving, sweetheart!" Peg said as she and her granddaughter shared a hug.
"Grandma!" George, Summer, Max, and Annabeth exclaimed upon hearing their sister and grandmother, and they ran over there to give their grandma a hug.
"How are my grandkids?" Peg asked.
"We're fine, Grandma." George assured her.
"Better than ever, since I don't have to spend the holiday in an orphanage." Annabeth said.
"Now that I'm part of a real family again, I'm feeling thankful." Max said.
"We're happy, Grandma." said Summer.
"Hi, Mom!" Dudley greeted his mom.
"Hi, Peg." Kitty smiled.
"Dudley, Kitty! How're ya doing?" Peg called out as she walked over to them.
"We're doing good." Dudley said, giving his mom a hug.
"What he said." Kitty replied, also hugging Peg.
They watched the parade as long as it was on, though every now and again, Dudley would get up and check on the turkey, and he'd be basting it, to give it flavor. (A/N: My dad does this a lot.)
"Just wait until the turkey is ready. It's gonna be great!" Dudley said as he returned from his latest trip to the kitchen.
"Better than last year's turkey?" Summer asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see!" Dudley said.
"You guys are gonna love the turkey! Dad always makes it good!" George said to Max and Annabeth.
"Looking forward to it!" Max grinned.
"So am I!" Annabeth said.
"We're all looking forward to it!" said Molly.
After the parade, Dudley turned the T.V. to a football game, so the kids went to the den to find something else to do. It didn't take them long to figure out what they wanted to do. They decided to play some "Donkey Kong 64", and each of them would play as one of the 5 Kongs that were playable in the game.
"So long as Dad's yelling doesn't cause us to screw up." George said.
"Yeah, Dad does get pretty loud when he watches football." Annabeth said, having seen Dudley in action when he watched football.
The kids played the game for as long as they could, but as they knew, it's very hard to play video games when Dudley is watching football, because every time he yelled, the kids were startled, and they'd mess up.
"Okay, we really can't play video games when Dad watches football." said Max as they shut off the game.
"Let's watch cartoons, instead!" Summer decided.
So the kids watched some episodes of the "Donkey Kong Country" cartoon series. And they watched the cartoon while Dudley and Kitty checked up on the turkey and finished fixing the rest of the feast.
Because the kids were enjoying the cartoon, it seemed like not much time had passed when they heard Dudley and Kitty saying, "Dinner's ready!"
And so the feast is ready, and it's time for dinner! Stay tuned, 'cause we're still not done!
