Williams Family

Decorating the tree...

This year we decided not to get a real tree for the basement and just put one of our artificial ones from the main level down there...less mess, no watering (not that we were very good about that anyway which could be why it was always all dried up and yucky by Christmas!), and it was free since we already had an extra - real trees can cost 40 or 50 bucks! I do miss the smell, but I think I'll live without it and everyone's allergies will probably appreciate it too. We ate a picnic supper in the basement, I went through picking out which ornaments to put on the tree (they wouldn't all fit), the kids and James put the ornaments on, and Anna just played in the floor on her quilt. It was a fun, fun night!

Granddaddy's Birthday

We all ate dinner at our house for Dad's birthday. The kids wanted to help with the candles, but Anna is not nearly as close to the flames as it appears in this picture.

Pilgrim Jake

James and I went to eat lunch with Addi and Jake at both of their schools during the week before Thanksgiving. I didn't take any pictures from Addi's, but here's Jake in his pilgrim hat that he made (with a lot of help from Ms. Paula and Ms. Kema I'm sure!) to wear that day.

Such a happy baby...

First hairbow...she looks thrilled doesn't she? :)

Clean and good smellin' girl fresh from the bathtub...

Chef-Boy-R-JAKE!

This is the pizza that Jake and I made together one night while Addi was at Grammy's...he loved to help and loved even more the fact that he was getting to help without Addi around! :)

Anna - 6 weeks

Just in case anyone was wondering, yes, we do take pictures of Anna, not nearly as many or as often as Addison or Jake and they certainly don't get posted on the blog very promptly, but there are pictures here and there of her too. Hopefully she won't have too bad of a complex about this when she gets older. Here's a couple of cute ones from around 6 weeks.
