Any Ideas?

So we- as in Ben and I- are hosting Thanksgiving for my parents, Ben's parents and Ben's two sisters (my brother is staying in Cali). While I think I'm a pretty good cook (when I try), I don't really do it that often.
We are making the main dishes: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes (Ben's specialty) and the gravy. I love traditional mid-west cooking so my ask is: anyone have any good, classic recipes for those dishes? Lemme know!

Where we've been!

Sorry I've been MIA, all 3 of you that read this =) It was off to Orlando to get this fabulous lady married and then Ben and I spent a few days in Disney! We're going back with my company in January so it was just a taste, but what a whirlwind long weekend it was!

After marrying off my dear friend (and fellow Princess) Jenna, Ben and I spent two days at the wonderful WDW.

The lovely Bride (her dress was, of course, amazing)

Mr. & Mrs. Jenna and Bryan Hamel

Our bridesmaid dresses were these chic tea-length pencil dresses from Banana Republic that we wore with black belts and sweet jewelry. We were hot. Jenna was hotter.

After the wedding it was off to my happy place! And yes, I did wear a tiara all day at the Magic Kingdom, thankyouverymuch.

We thought we were so cool.

His hair looked awesome after riding Rockin' Rollercoaster.

While it should be noted that Anna can NEVER have too much Disney, it may have been that Disney had too much Anna and simply knocked her out. Ah well. See you in January!
