Thanksgiving Traditions!

Thanksgiving, the turkiest time of the year!

The turkey we made was amazing, and the stuffing, which was my creation, came out even better!
As you know,  we have a yearly tradition [or a little secret] that keeps all the kiddos occupied while the turkey roasts in the oven.  The party was at my house this year [through popular vote] so I had to choose the coloring page, which was about Pilgrim Clothing, and it was really fun coloring, and we even had a contest! Whoever had the best picture in their age category got to dress the others [or themselves up] in vintage Pilgrim clothing, thanks to the local thrift store! It was fun, and after a while, even the adults got decked up in petticoats and blouses.

After this, it was time for the puzzle. As you know, each year the host has to select a puzzle for the little rascals, err cutie pies, and this year I chose a USA map puzzle. It was great fun, and  the children finished it all by themselves, as long as you include help from the child at heart, AKA me!
Right now you can find it at a great price on Amazon! Right here

And I know you guys have been waiting for the recipe that I promised. My grandmother's secret recipe was actually featured on Food Network! My grandmother sent it in,and it was used there! There are minor changes, but the turkey still looks delectable!  Hats off to Giada for this!
You can see the recipe here: Food Network Turkey

And while Gram Gram won't budge on the stuffing, Food Network has also come up with  an amazing sutffing recipe, which I used and received many compliments on.

This is also cheap, and frugal, and it will really knock the socks off your guests!
