Houston - Day 1

For Thanksgiving this year, we all traveled down to Houston to visit my grandparents and see our cousins.  The last time we had gone down was in 2006 - so a full 4.5 years ago.  Amazing how quickly time flies!  The weather was warm and humid; a welcome relief from chilly DC.

Here we are, the first morning - Tessa always falls right back into my mom's arms as soon as she sees her Puo Puo!

Zach and my bro:

My mom's arms are like a sleepy time drug for Tessa.  She can be lulled to sleep in her arms so easily!

Emma's favorite part about the trip was playing with my aunt and uncle's dog, Winston.

After a morning nap, we all got into 2 minivans - yes, we are that big of a family now! - and headed over to my grandparents' place.  Amazing - they are both in their mid 90's, still living on their own, and looking so great!  Here is Tessa, receiving her "red envelope" from my grandmother and meeting her for the first time:

My mom is busy with grandkids!

I love this shot of little Tessa that my brother took.  Big elevator, lots of big people - and little Tessa
