The Dolls' Take on Thanksgiving Traditions


This is the second Thanksgiving the Dolls have spent together.  We're all from somewhere else and most of us wait until the Christmas holidays to visit family and friends, so we gather up all of the orphans and have a huge feast at the Dusty Rose Vintage HQ.

Now that this little shindig is becoming a tradition, the Dolls are bringing their own traditions into the fold.  Now no Thanksgiving will feel complete without:








The kiddie table.  Look at who's sitting there.  We all had no doubt in our minds where we'd end up this evening. 





The adult table.   A much more sophisticated scene.  At least for a little while.  





Fall colored getups.  It really sets the mood.  And also the food you're eating matches your outfit, which may come in handy.  Check our facebook page for more on that one.




Punching practice.  This is how the gang shows our love for eachother.




Boys.  We're quite an exclusive group, but we let the boys in on some of our activities.  





Mostly because they do all the cooking.  




The Mr. Monopoly story with reenactments.  No Thanksgiving would be complete without it.  If you don't know it you're missing out.  Ask Joan Threat next time  you see her.  Hopefully she's not wearing something super nice because she will definitely be face down on the ground to paint the complete picture.  




Food coma induced napping.  Ok, maybe for some of us it's also due to drinking all day.  Either way, you know you're real family when you ask to lay down because your guts are about to burst or you fall asleep on the couch in the middle of all the noise.  




Leftovers Movie Night!!!!  Best way to deal with the mountains of food in the fridge on Friday.  



Can't wait to make some new traditions next year!
