Five on Friday

It's time once again for Five on Friday. It was a crazy week....trying to get the house clean for Joe's parents, squeezing in some last minute turkey day projects and having family time. Busy but oh so fun!

In true "Sarah" form, our dining room looked great...even though no one was eating in it. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Of course...pictures are minimal. I really struggle with just enjoying the moment and not having pictures or being that crazy girl taking pictures of everything.

We woke up and I made the infamous cinnamon roll turkeys that you have probably seen on Pinterest. I think they turned out so cute! I served them with fresh berries and we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while watching them :)

I also made my amazing Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Pie. This was in Southern Living....maybe last year. I made it for the holidays last year and everyone raved about it. It's pretty awesome! Find the recipe here. My one special tip would be to take the time to arrange the pecans on top. It just looks so pretty.

Here is my little turkey all dressed up. Thank you Meredith for the cute outfit!

I set up a little kids table that turned out pretty cute. I used a set of free printables that I found on Pinterest. Each place setting had a coloring sheet, plate, turkey toes, a glass bottle with paper straw and a little boat with pumpkin shaped pretzels inside. I also put out a jar of crayons and a cute little pumpkin.

I think Sally and Carol Hannah liked having their own little table to sit at :) I think a kids table should be at every family function here on out...time to start planning Christmas!

Earlier in the week, we made fingerprint tukeys. This was a process. I got a pack of four mini canvases at Michaels using a coupon. I think these are 2 inches. I used Sally's thumb to do the brown turkey body. We let that part dry and then used her pointer finger in yellow, orange and red...drying between each color. I used a fine line sharpie to draw on the legs and year. I glued googly eyes and a cardstock beak. I think they turned out pretty cute. Sally couldn't wait to present them to the grandparents.

I'm pretty sure I need this doormat...like yesterday. I am a major Home Alone fan!

On Friday morning, I decided I did NOT need to wake up and shop. I slept in until 8:45 and then drug myself to 90 minute Zumba at the gym. I did stop by Old Navy and Bath and Body Works after ;)

One of our Christmas activities this month is participating in the Ugly Sweater Run. 

I really wanted us to wear some fun outfits, so I got a family set of Elf pajamas. After Joe and I tried ours on, we decided they may not be the best things to run in. We decided to keep Sally's though. She will get them when we have a family viewing of Elf. 

So now, I am trying to figure out a costume for Joe and I. Yes, we could just do ugly sweaters, but I really want an excuse to buy one of these.
