This time of year we watch all the Charlie Brown cartoons.  They are sweet, safe and short.  (Can I get an amen that sometimes you want the kid movie to be short?)  Plus there's one for every holiday... like Thanksgiving!

I found these darling turkey napkins at Swoozies, put them on my mustard yellow plates and called it a day.  They are super cute!  The foil just makes it.

Don't be jealous of my amazing chalk art skills.  Ha.  I love my pumpkin-shaped chalk board from Chalk Ink.  I have a Texas one too!

For dinner, I wanted something easy at the end of a long week.  I mentioned picking up Honeybaked Ham and my husband and son got super excited.  So there ya go.  I picked up some ham and two of their super-easy heat-and-serve sides.  Done.  It's a treat for us, but so hassle-free at the same time.  Plus, it's the kind of meal you tend to enjoy during the holidays.

I hope your Thanksgiving week is also hassle-free, full of good food and lots of time with people you love.  I'm thankful for each of you who read here!

Movie Night: Freebirds

I feel like my finger is hovering on the trigger of a cannon of all things Christmas.  I'm almost ready to unleash the most wonderful time of the year at my house, but first a little Thanksgiving fun!

Freebirds is a really cute little movie that's perfect for November.  It offers plenty of laughs for both kids and adults.  Read about its content here.

I was tickled to spot these turkeys and they inspired my whole look for the table.  I LOVE the touches of pink!  I look forward to putting them out year after year.

Also, let's talk about how much mileage I'm getting out of these pumpkins.  They work September through November!

I added these dinner napkins and put these under the glasses.  When I buy a pack of fun napkins for movie night I always use the extras throughout the following week for dinner and packing lunches for the kids.

The place cards are just the cutest.

For dinner, we are having enchiladas.  Because we just are.  If you wanted to play off the theme, you could do a toned-down thanksgiving-type meal or turkey/cranberry/dressing/cream cheese sandwiches.  The main character in this movie, Reggie, is a turkey who learns how to order pizza so you could do that too!

If you haven't already, give this silly little movie a try!
