Thanksgiving at the Williams

We had a delightful Thanksgiving this year.  Rode to College Station with Keith, Elysse and Anna.  Oh what fun!  Anna is such a good little traveler.  KW, Julie and Lauren met up with us at the apartment and we all hung out and watch the Cowboy game.  Soon everyone except Anna and me left for the last A&M vs Texas game.  I was thrilled that I got to stay in the warmth and in front of a huge screen TV with Anna and some good wine while the others had to endure the weather and the awful outcome of the game.  After the game, we rode on to Houston (1 hr...thanks to KW's driving skills).  Whether it's the Suburban or BMW he still drives like he's in the Aston Martin.
Since the game was on Thursday, we celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday.  Julie out did herself as usual.  The food, table setting and company were all outstanding.  It was a joy to meet Jill, Denny and Ralene, Jana's family.  A joy to hang out with Kendell, Blake and Janalee.  Also a joy to be with the newly engaged couple, John and Lauren.  Oh how our families are blessed and we are so thankful.
Even the kids table is beautifully decorated.
We took these pictures before we placed the beautiful flower arrangements on the table.  Julie is so creative and has such a talent working with flowers and many other things.

Not my best picture, but then it's all about Anna and she is adorable.
KW even helped with making his famous mac and cheese. 
Look at all the food just waiting for us to dive into....YUM YUM!
Janalee is at the age that she is always on the move.  I ran behind her, beside her and in front of her to try to get pictures of her.  Success!!!!
Kelly's daughter, Kelsey is a great little helper with kids. She entertained Janalee all day long.
Saturday was a lazy rainy day and we all took advantage of the day.  Some of us napped while others watched the many football games while others started the madness of working on a puzzle.
The players change but there are still pieces missing.
Some enjoyed the madness more than others....KW not so much!
Maybe margaritas will help???
I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the final product.  They were all successful even with a couple of pieces missing....Good Job!
