Houston holds a really cute Thanksgiving Day parade complete with floats, marching bands, low riders, and balloons.
Don't the kids look so cozy posing next to the big tree in their summer clothes?
This red swing hung beautifully in the museum district near the Mark Rothko Chapel.
The Houston Children's Museum is wonderful. The kids did NOT want to leave. Not even to eat or go to the bathroom!
On Tuesday, prior to Thanksgiving, we joined the Landrys' for gingerbread makin'.
We grabbed a little inner peace at the Mark Rothko Chapel. Such a great little spot in Houston.
Our little astronauts got to play at NASA Space Center, too!
This boy Elroy is a bit wary of his helmet!
No Thanksgiving is complete without a visit from the ice cream truck to beat the November heat!
My dad made this cool game based on what is apparently a traditional Texas pastime: the game "Washers." The rules seem to have a lot of flexibility. It should be called "Diplomacy" given the amount of debate and negotiation that takes place in the constant revising of the rules.
My brother's tailgate buddies brought all their gear and we sat in the driveway with outdoor TVs and ate. A lot. Armadillo Eggs, cranberry salsa, nachos, shrimp wrapped in bacon, chicken in white sauce. Yum. Who needs veggies?
