Thanksgiving In Texas

Going to Texas was great. Getting to see everyone was absolutely wonderful. The week was hectic and busy because of all the funeral arrangements and Thanksgiving dinners, but it was still fun to see glimpses of people here and there. I always leave feeling like I didn't get to do all I wanted to do and go home penciling it in for next time. Something I really missed doing was hanging out with my sisters. I was so busy trying to help my parents and get the house in order.....trying to take any stress off my mom because she had just lost her mom, I forgot to just hang out with my sisters. Now that we are older, we get along a lot better I think =) True for anyone else? I realize they are definitely my best friends and the ones who I will be around with forever so I should jump on that boat and work on getting a little closer with them. My sister Rebecca and her adorable baby Blaze

Adalie had a blast having my sister's little girl Sophia around every second to play with. Her little cousin Zoe was there a few times too but she got sick during the week so playtime with her seemed to be cut a little short =(The trio all sucking their fingers while watching a movie

Grandpa and Grandmama let Adalie open her Christmas present from them and she was in Heaven!! A trunk full of dress up clothes!! Adalie also gave them their little Christmas presents of sweet treats.haha Love my dad's face

Mom has a nack for closing her eye right when the camera flashes

Thanksgiving day was really nice. We had a big dinner with all the Williamson's at my uncle Franks house, and of course I didn't document it with any pictures because I forgot the camera (shame on me!!) Brett made yummy gravy and mashed potatoes (real ones...my husband doesn't take fake ones in a box LoL) and his mom's wonderful sweet potatoes, the only ones I will eat! They were a hit! Nothing left of them by the end of it all....my husband is a wonderful chef. By the way, why is it called sweet potatoes when it is actually made with yams?? Anywho, we went over to my very pregnant sister (due any day now) Heather's house that night for a second dose of turkey and ham with all the trimming and it was great yet again. Good food and Good company. I cannot believe it myself, but I forgot to eat any dessert on Thanksgiving. Who does that?!!? Sheesh....I made up for it the next day with a huge piece of red velvet cake my parents had brought home and some iced sugar cookies. Didn't have pie though which is another shame on me, because Thanksgiving is all about the pie right??It was just so great and I can't wait to get back to good ole' Texas again soon. Love y'all lots and miss y'all TONZ!!
