Thanksgiving 2014 in Houston

This year for Thanksgiving we got to go to Houston, TX to celebrate with the Wellen clan (Kay's family).  It was so fun to be back with family again - it had been almost 4 years!  We had a blast - Sandy and Steve cooked a fabulous dinner (coupled with some fabulous wine!) and we enjoyed other fun activities over the weekend as well such as going to the zoo, playing games, watching lots of football, playing pinball and a lot of us even ran a 5K! See pictures below!
