Thanksgiving in Houston

Thanksgiving was celebrated by us in Texas this year with lots of family and friends.

 

On the way down, we dropped Mike and Jonas off in the hill country for some deer hunting with my Dad and Uncle Gary.  They didn't get a deer this time, but they had lots of fun.

 

We enjoyed some play time at the park with my pal Jennifer and her daughter Lily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The kids made some super cute Oreo turkeys with Nana.

 

 

We had several good visits with (Great) Grandma and the kids had fun "swimming" in the pool (hot tub).

 

 

Meme chased Jonas and Judith around the back yard with pine cones.

 

 

We had a good visit with Mike's family at his Uncle Steve's house for Thanksgiving lunch.  Here's Mike (and the kids who we could get to participate) with Grandma Allison.

Then later it was off to my cousin Laney's house for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.  Here's the whole family.

Nana wanted to introduce the kids to the Elf on the Shelf and thus, "Jack" was born. 

 

 

Fun reading with Grandpa.

 

It was a very long trip for such a short stay, but we had a good time and it was great to see so many of our family members.  It's always fun to catch up and the kids love the attention.  :)
