The Dolls' Take on Thanksgiving Traditions
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!

Mom's Thanksgiving Stuffing
Hi everyone, Snowflake here. I'm not sure if you all know this but I'm Canadian. So this weekend being Canadian Thanksgiving and all I thought I'd share with you a special family recipe for the most delicious stuffing you'll ever had.
Mom's Potato & Bread Stuffing
6 potatoes {you can also substitute one sweet potato)
1tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup of chopped onions
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup carrots
1 cup stale bread
1/3 cup vegetable broth
salt & peper to taste
1. Cut potatoes and boil until soft. Mash them up and put aside
2. In a medium flat bottom saucepan, heat olive oil. Add garlic, onions, celery, peppers, carrots and sautee until tender. Add mixture to potatoes.
3. Cut the stale bread into cubes and fry in olive oil. You can use the same saucepan that you were just using for the veggies. Add salt & pepper to taste.
4. Add both the potato mixture and the bread in a greased pan and bake for approx. 30-45 minutes.
I also recommend topping this with delicious mushroom gravy for the absolute best Thanskgiving stuffing ever! Enjoy with family, or if you're like us dolls and are away from family members, have all of your friends together for an orphan Thanksgiving.
