Couple of things to add to what everyone else has said (which has generally been good advice):
Looking up your itinerary, it seems your first flight is on mainline NWA, and the second one is a regional NWA (Pinnacle). This means you are probably coming in at A terminal and leaving from B or C terminal. All other things being equal, this is bad b/c it adds a few more minutes to your transfer.
As noted, since you're flying in the morning, there are two later flights (1:50 PM and 5:25 PM) that could accommodate you. This is good.
I noticed that you said you are actually traveling on Thanksgiving. Other people have warned you about heavy holiday crowds, etc. In my prior experience, while the days leading up the Thanksgiving are extremely busy, the holiday itself is often actually a very light travel day. This also is good as it makes it more likely you'll be able to sit near the front of the plane. Even if you can't pre-reserve seats near the front, if you get on your 1st flight and discover it's not heavily loaded, you can always explain to the FA that you have a very tight connection and would like to move forward if possible. Often, if there are open seats closer to the front of coach, the FAs will be nice and let you move.
