Cowabelle is Thankful
Hey everyone!Did you know that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays? It’s true! I love helping out in the soup kitchen and serving food to Webkinz who need it. I also love hanging out with my mom and friends – and this year, Dacey and her mom and Salley and her mom AND Stoogles are going to be joining us for dessert! How exciting is that? I have a TON to be thankful for, so I can hardly wait for tomorrow. What are you most thankful for?
Roberta’s Heart-to-Heart
Hey everyone, So remember how I was feeling pretty miserable the other day because my nana and papa were spending all their time with Reid? Well, my grandmother realized there was something wrong…and she took me out for a hot chocolate and a donut. We talked about how hard it is to have a little brother around, and how sometimes he seems to get ALL the attention. She told me that she often felt a little jealous of her younger sister (my great-aunt). I was surprised to hear that, but nana said it’s just something that older siblings feel sometimes. She said it doesn’t mean I don’t love Reid, but just that occasionally I kind of wish I could get the sort of attention he does. She also said that she and papa were going to take me out to see a play, and have a special dinner at a restaurant, just the three of us. And when we got back to her house? Somehow it bothered me a lot less when everyone said how adorable it was when Reid spat carrot baby food across the kitchen. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Molly’s Family Fun
Dear Diary, You’ll never believe how INSANE things are at my house today! My entire family has come for Thanksgiving (like they do every year) but this year? They seem even louder and crazier than usual! My twin cousins, Robby and Bobby, arrived and immediately started tormenting Millie. For some reason, they’re more interested in bugging her than me this year (hooray for me, boo for Millie). Millie ran and told my mom and Robby and Bobby got in trouble. That’s been happening all day long. I think Robby and Bobby have been grounded for about one hundred years in total. My little cousin Holly is so cute – she’s able to walk and even said “Molly” when I gave her a cookie. Isn’t that the cutest thing? Most of the family is watching football on TV right now, and my mom and grandma are in the kitchen cooking dinner. I think I’ll join them – I just heard Bobby and Robby say something about sprinkling the chips with hot sauce. Happy (early) Thanksgiving! Love, Molly
Roberta’s Little Brother
Hey everyone. Roberta here in East Webkinz World, visiting my grandparents. Normally I LOVE seeing nana and papa…but this time? This time it’s alllll about my little brother Reid. Since we arrived, no one has talked about anything else. It’s just “Reid this” and “Reid that” and “Oh, isn’t it so cute how Reid makes faces? Look at him crawl! Reid is the BEST!”Reid is not the best at anything! He’s just a baby. He’s not even very exciting. And then there’s me, sitting alone in the corner, hoping someone will take notice and talk to me. So far? No one has. I guess I just can’t compare to the cuteness of my baby brother. And don’t get me wrong, I think Reid IS very sweet. But who is more interesting? A baby or a creative, brilliant young lady like myself?I think the choice is pretty clear. Someone just needs to tell my family that.
Sparky is Thankful
So you guys know how I’ve been kind of dreading Thanksgiving? Well, my friends made me realize how lucky I really am…and that I should stop complaining about the fact that I’m not going on holiday. I get to spend the holiday in Kinzville with my Uncle Arte who has planned a TON of cool stuff for us to do. He’s taking me to the museum, we’re going on a hike, and he’s getting dinner from Le Snout (hooray! No frozen pizza or soggy pie!), and he said there are a few other surprises up his sleeve. Nibbles told me that I should be happy that I’ve got someone to spend Thanksgiving with, and Salley reminded me that not everyone is so lucky. Cowabelle told me about some of the families that she helps at the soup kitchen, and it made me realize that I’m a really lucky kid with lots to be thankful for. So I’m sorry I’ve been complaining. I hope my parents have an awesome vacation, because I know I’ll be having a very happy Thanksgiving.
Salley’s Good News
Dear Diary, Guess what? Guess what?! I’ve finally got some good news about Thanksgiving! My parents realized that I was having a really hard time making a decision about who to spend the holiday with, so they talked to each other and figured out a compromise. My dad is going to come to Kinzville and take me out to lunch at Le Snout. My mom and I are going to have dinner together (with Stoogles visiting). My parents are happy, and now I get to see them both on Thanksgiving! Hooray! Love, Salley
The Thanksgiving Pageant
It’s me, Cowabelle. Today was our Thanksgiving Pageant at school and I wish I could say that my star turn went off without a hitch but I can’t. Fortunately, thanks to my best friend, Roberta, things could have turned out a lot worse. I think I got so caught up in being the star of the show that I let it go to my head a bit. I know I wasn’t being as considerate of Roberta as I should. I thought she should just grow up and stop complaining about having to be a tree. I mean – not everyone can be the star, right? But maybe I should have focused more on learning my lines than being a star, because today when I was up on stage, I completely forgot my lines and froze! It was horrible – I didn’t know what to do! Luckily I happen to have the best friend ever because suddenly the tree next to me started whispering my lines to me! Roberta was there beside me to save the day! I guess that while she was standing around ‘treeing’, she had nothing better to do than memorize the play. And even though I’ve been … Read more
Sparky’s Unhappy Thanksgiving
You know, normally I LOVE Thanksgiving. It’s usually my mom and dad and Uncle Arte and I at our house, eating lots of delicious foods (especially pumpkin pie) and celebrating together.Since my parents are leaving this year for a vacation (WITHOUT me), I’m really NOT looking forward to Thanksgiving. My Uncle Arte keeps trying to tell me that we’re going to have fun, and that he has all this great stuff planned…but it’s not the same. I bet he doesn’t even know how to make a pie. I invited Stoogles to join us for part of our ‘dinner’ (probably pizza or something). Maybe he’ll make Thanksgiving a little more fun this year.

Stoogles’ Thanksgiving Invitations
Hey Everyone! Stoogles here with some great news. Instead of getting ONE invitation to Thanksgiving dinner, I now have FIVE! Yup, you heard right! Stoogles will be eating well that weekend. First, I’m going to go to Nibbles’ house for Thanksgiving lunch. Her family celebrates earlier in the day. She said they have SEVEN different types of pie! I’m going to try ALL of them! After that, I’m heading over to the Curio Shop for an early dinner with Sparky and his Uncle Arte (Sparky said not to get my hopes up about how good the food will be). After that, it’s over to Salley’s house for dinner with her and her family (Salley is staying in Kinzville now – yay!). We’re all going to head to Cowabelle’s after for dessert (more pie!) and then I’ll end my night at Alex’s house. His friend April will be there as well, so that should be fun. I’ve never really had an official Thanksgiving before – and now I get to do FIVE of them in one day! Is this the best idea ever, or what?
Salley’s New Decision
Dear Diary, OK, so remember how I thought that maybe I had made a mistake when I agreed to go and spend Thanksgiving with my dad? Well, I called him and told him that maybe I should stay here in Kinzville with my mom. And he was really disappointed. I know he tried to sound totally OK with everything, but he’s not very good at pretending. My mom, on the other paw, was extremely happy to find out that I’m staying here. I guess the question is: why don’t I feel happier? Why do I still feel like I’ve made the wrong decision? I wish holidays were easier. At least now Stoogles can come over for Thanksgiving dinner. He seems pretty excited about that idea. Love, Salley
Stoogles’ Invitation
Stoogles here with a tricky situation. My family doesn’t really celebrate Thanksgiving in a big way, but I’ve always wanted to go to a REAL Thanksgiving dinner. So here’s what I’ve got to do: get an invitation from one of my friends. But how? I mean, I can’t very well invite myself to one of their dinners, right? I was going to try and get myself invited to Sparky’s Thanksgiving, but it sounds like his is going to be pretty quiet, with just him and his uncle Arte. Then I figured maybe I’d try and go to Salley’s Thanksgiving, but she might be going to see her dad. Maybe I’ll see if Cowabelle is feeling generous. I hear Dacey Bryn might be at her Thanksgiving dinner – a brush with fame AND a real, honest-to-goodness feast. This might just be my best Thanksgiving ever!
Salley’s Conundrum
Dear Diary, I finally decided who I wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with: this year, I’m going to hang out with my dad. I mean, that’s the best choice, right? Like, my dad never gets to see me on Thanksgiving…and he really sounded like he missed me. And when I told him on the phone? He was SO excited. The only thing is that I haven’t told my mom yet. And she’s not going to be happy at all. But at least she has my aunt and grandma to celebrate with. Right? Ugh. Maybe I’ve made the wrong decision after all. Maybe I should call my dad and cancel. Maybe I should just tell both of them that I’ve got an invitation to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and I won’t be available. I wish this was easier. - Salley

Tough News for Sparky
You guys will never, ever, ever believe what happened to me today. I’m so embarrassed …and kind of mad. And it’s all because of my parents. We were having dinner and my mom said, “Sparky, we have something we want to tell you about Thanksgiving this year.” And I TRIED to pretend I didn’t know, but I blurted out “I know! We’re going to the Tropical Island on holiday! I can’t wait!” And my parents looked at each other and my dad cleared his throat and said, “Well, we’re not ALL going. I’m going. Your mom is going. But you’re not.” And I just stared at him. I couldn’t believe it. And then he said, “How did you know about the holiday, anyway?” And we got into a discussion about eavesdropping and how sometimes it can give you the wrong idea about something. No kidding. My mom said she was sorry, but she and my dad were about to celebrate their fifteenth wedding anniversary, and this was their special trip. So I get to stay with my Uncle Arte for Thanksgiving. And Uncle Arte is NOT a great cook like my mom. So we’ll probably end up having … Read more
