Thanksgiving Feast With Mia, Felicity and Emily!


"I'm here!" Felicity Merriman called to her two best friends, Mia St. Claire and Emily Talbot. "Whew, I thought you weren't coming!" Mia said, pretending to wipe sweat of her forehead, and Felicity and Emily chuckled. Emily had invited Felicity and Mia to her house to make a little Thanksgiving dinner, just for the three of them. Mia and Felicity had gladly agreed to come.

"Where do I start?" Felicity said, putting on an apron.


"You can stir that bowl of hot water to keep it boiling," Mia said, dusting the potatoes with a little flour.

"Oh, can you move the bowl over a little? I'm bringing this pot of potatoes over there by the cutting board," Mia said, carrying a heavy pot of cooked potatoes to cut up. "Of course," Felicity said, scooting over the bowl.

Mia placed to potatoes at a time on the cutting board and sliced them, putting the slices back into the pot, to give to Emily to mash into mashed potatoes.

"Oh, thanks for the potatoes," Emily said to Mia as she handed her a bowl of sliced potatoes to mash. Mia began to cook some eggs to dress with spices, called "Dressed Eggs".

"Do you need some help with those eggs, Mia?" Felicity asked her friend, for Felicity had finished boiling the water and they already made dough for rolls. "No, I'm fine, but thanks for offering," Mia said, with a smile to her friend.
Emily had finished with the mashed potatoes and had begun to put some vegetable oil on an uncooked turkey, which she was going to put some dressing on after the oil and cook.

"I'll put on the dressing for you, and put it in the oven. You've done so much already," Felicity said kindly to Emily, taking the dressing bowl and pouring it on the turkey. "That would be lovely, thank you,"Emily said,smiling kindly back and walking away. Felicity marinated the turkey and put it in the oven to cook, and went to check on the rolls, which were done, and she took them out of the oven to cool.
"Girls, I think we're done cooking!" Mia exclaimed. "Yeah, all we have to do is take everything out of the oven and cooling racks, and we can bring it down to my dining room!" Emily said, already putting the cooled rolls into a basket.

The girls were just taking the last things to the dining room, when Felicity realized....... They forgot the turkey on the counter!!!! "Mia, Emily, we need to get the turkey!" Felicity laughed, and her friends did too! They got the turkey and they set everything perfect and then... the feast began!

Here all the girls are feasting on their Thanksgiving meal, and Popcorn, Emily's dog, came to join them!

Here are some closeups on the food:

Choclate Making With Mia and Felicity!



"I've got the melted lemon chocolate!" Felicity called to her new friend Mia, who she had met a few days ago. Mia invited Felicity to make chocolates at her house.



"I'll mix it, it looks a little chunky," Mia said with a giggle.

"I'll pour it in!!" Felicity exclaimed, already pouring it in.



"Owww! This chocolate is hot!!" Felicity yelped, for she forgot to use the mitt when she took the chocolate out of the oven.




"Here, I'll pour it into the mold for you." And Mia did, with the mitt. Then she poured in some raspberry flavoring.




"Whew, all done,'' Mia sighed, as they poured in the chocolate into the last mold. Then she picked up a lemon chocolate chip to nibble on.'' I can't wait to see how they turn out, and to try them!!" Felicity said, eying the chocolates hungrily.





"Mmm..." Mia said, grabbing another lemon chocolate. "Are they good?" Felicity asked. "Delicious!" Mia said with her mouth full. "I'll try a dark chocolate on, then!" Felicity said, laughing at how fast Mia was gulping down her's.



"Wow... these are REALLY good!!!" Felicity said now with her mouth full. Now it was Mia's turn to laugh.






Also, As you can see, most of the clothes Mia is wearing are handmade.
This is Mia's cute little hat and Scottie Dog shirt. From a few of the pictures above you can see her apron. I also made Felicity's headband.
