Thanksgiving!


We had a wonderful trip to New Mexico to see the Williams side of the family. It was Caleb's first time on an airplane, and he did great! All of Jeremy's siblings, their spouses, and children were able to be there, so it was a wonderful occasion!

First we drove down to Carlsbad to the Farm to see Gaga and Papa. (Jeremy's paternal grandparents.) Gaga made us a grand slam breakfast and oohed and awed over little Caleb. We enjoyed our time there, albeit brief.








Then we met the rest of the family in Las Cruces for the big feast! The night before Thanksgiving we had a progressive dinner so we could see everyone's houses-I still think about Rachel and Anika's yummy salad. :) Carmelized almonds to die for.



Little Lilian, the only granddaughter so far-steals all our hearts!


We all had lots of fun together, in between cooking and taking care of children-we all laughed a lot and got caught up on each other's lives. We were excited to learn of two new babies who will be joining the family! Anita (Jeremy's sister) and Anika (sister in law) are both expecting!



"Mama" loved being with all her 8 grandbabies, and cousins and aunts and uncles got to know each other.











Papa was a proud patriarch of the whole brood.


Truly we all have so much to be thankful for.
