Hi, I'm 19 f.

I've been away from the US for 10 years. All my relatives are in the USA so now that I'm back to go to college here, I suddenly have a family to see during vacations. Last year, we had Thanksgiving with my aunt's family.

My problem is that I'm generally shy and I don't know how to have fun. I have three cousins who are aged 8, 14 and 16. Last Thanksgiving it was really awkward- I know I'm meant to be older so be in charge but I just don't know how to have fun with my cousins or kids/teenagers in general. We ended up playing monopoly with the adults and then eating.

How should I behave during family Thanksgivings and what activities can I do with my cousins that would be fun?

Thanks, any advice would be appreciated.

Also, Happy Halloween. (link)
Just be yourself, people love you for who you truly are...And hey, a game of Monopoly never gets old(:
