5 on Friday -- Thanksgiving Edition


It's the last Friday before Thanksgiving! Although I am a bit partial to Christmas (it's an argument every year as to when it is okay to put up the tree), I want to savor Thanksgiving this year & family time, especially since Jeff and I will be spending Christmas in New Jersey with his family!  Here's my 5 things on Thanksgiving :)

 

-ONE-

 
Target does it again with the most adorable Thankful placemats by Threshold.  They are currently 20% off too- which makes them only $3.99 each!  Love these.

-TWO-

 Always a good reminder. :)

 

-THREE-

I'm not a HUGE fan of Thanksgiving food, but this is my FAVORITE!! My mom makes it every year and I found a really similar recipe (linked above).  I'm making it for my office Thanksgiving potluck tomorrow and will most likely have a plate full of potatoes. :)  The only difference between my recipe and the one I liked is that I use cream of chicken soup in lieu of the cream of mushroom.  Needless to say, tomorrow is going to be a pretty big cheat day for me.
 

-FOUR-

I use this centerpiece for every holiday!  For Easter, I fill it with plastic eggs, Christmas with pine cones, etc.  I love this filling that I found at HomeGoods (of course).  I've had it in for a while now, since it works well for Halloween too!  Although I'm excited to change it out for my Christmas cones, I love the fall look for now!
 

-FIVE-


I can't bring up Thanksgiving without at least mentioning Black Friday!  I'm not much of a black Friday shopper myself- not one of those traditions or things that I enjoy around the holidays.  HOWEVER, I really want a nice camera.  My mom has a Canon Rebel and this is the one I have been eyeing.  I'm not sure if I need one this nice, or should just get a $150-$200 one. I find myself using my phone all the time and it's great, mostly because I always have it.  But I want to start taking pictures on a good camera.  I know that Amazon will most likely have some great Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales going on.  That way I won't have to actual deal with the people.  I've never done it before and I'm not quite sure that I want to!
 
Have a great Thanksgiving!!! #thankful
