Thanksgiving and snow!
Thanksgiving weekend was filled with loving family and fabulous food. Mom and Dad Hyde drove in on Thanksgiving Day with Nanaw. We spent the majority of the day at the Brandau’s snacking, watching football, eating a huge dinner and enjoying each other’s company. Warren offered a touching and heartfelt prayer of Thanksgiving and we all had a great time. (I’m reminded each time our two families get together how wonderful everyone gets along. In fact, my folks have taken trips to Europe with Lisa’s folks without us! But we’re not bitter.) Lisa, the kids and I made out like bandits with the leftovers. We didn’t go to the grocery store for a week! Thanks to the Brandau’s for their gracious generosity and huge hospitality.
On Friday of the next week, Houston and surrounding areas received a couple of inches snow! It was the earliest snowfall in Houston history (by five days), snowing from about 9am to 2pm. By the time the kids came home from coop, the snow had already melted a bit, but that didn’t stop them from dropping there wares at the back door to play in the front yard.
Below are some pictures of the Thanksgiving gathering and celebration in the snow.
