Thanksgiving 2014

We have a lot to be thankful for, and our trip to Houston over Thanksgiving break was a perfect start to the holiday season. We got to see a lot of family, eat tons of amazing food, celebrate birthdays and even get a jumpstart on Christmas festivities.

Here are a few of the highlights:

All of Michael's cousins with their spouses and kids

So many wonderful ladies!

I couldn't love these three cousins any more!

Gray's oldest cousin Blayne was with his dad's side on Thanksgiving, but got to join in the fun a few days later when we celebrated his 13th birthday and opened a few early Christmas presents. Can't believe he's a teenager! For some reason they were inspired to flash the "Go Cougs!" sign for Univ. of Houston Cougars. 

One night we decided to drive around and check out some Christmas lights. We ended up making an impromptu stop at the mall near Nana and Popper's house to check out their amazing Christmas tree. The mall was about to close, but Gray spotted Santa and surprisingly there wasn't a line to see him so he stepped right up and told the big guy what's on his list.
