- 10 inflatable Seuss-style hats: sixty dollars.
- Expedited shipping so hats arrive Wednesday before Thanksgiving: six dollars.
- Extended family prancing around Austin
unknowingly waving their freak flagssporting the Seuss? 10.00 (cost of bribe bestowed upon young cousin).
- New traditions which make us light-headed*, laugh, & embrace the levity in life? Priceless.
Any American-types out there create new holiday rituals this year as we did?
Did yours involve headBONKING (dang those hats were unwieldy!) & family cajoling (Seriously, EVERYONE goes to Rudy’s in bigassinflatable head-gear. It’s totally not weird. I PROMISE!)
It surprised even ME how fun it could be…
*Next year Im so not saying: “It’s ok! Ive got it!!! You guys go hang out!” I quickly became a very lightheaded misfit.

Finally 🙂
Helen says
November 27, 2011 at 6:04 amI made the whole family go for a walk the morning after Thanksgiving!!!!
Lauren says
November 27, 2011 at 6:10 amWe decided this was the year we would do our own made up Turkey trot around the neighborhood.
Not as fun as your hats 🙂 but fairly silly!
Lauren says
November 27, 2011 at 6:20 amI love the Star of David tattoo!
Is that a new one?!
Runner Girl says
November 27, 2011 at 6:37 amThe last photo reminds me of the Wizard of Oz and the house on the witch 🙂
I want your abs too.
Coco says
November 27, 2011 at 6:52 amYour family is so much fun! I love the accounting of the $10 bribe ….
Nettie says
November 27, 2011 at 7:01 amSo will you be Cat in the Hat for Halloween now as a family?
Love the hats.
We made new traditions here, too, only because so many family members got divorced.
Oh well.
Karen@WaistingTime says

November 27, 2011 at 7:50 amI would have PAID the $10 back just to see this!
Meredith says
November 27, 2011 at 7:55 amI want to know if you are keeping the hats or if they are souviners (sp) for your Thanksgiving guests?
I want one!!
addy says

Leesa says
November 27, 2011 at 8:37 amOMG. Where did you get those??
I love the one of you and the Tornado.
Denise @ Do you have that in my size??? says
November 27, 2011 at 9:18 amWe all bought matching gingerbread Mickey Mouse ears embroidered with our names on back, and wore them around Disneyland for two days as a family. I’m not kidding – everyone either stopped and stared (and pointed) or they outright said something to us about how cool the hats were. Even the cast members (Disney employees) stopped and asked us where we’d gotten them. New Thanksgiving tradition for sure!!!
Jody - Fit at 54 says
November 27, 2011 at 9:36 amLOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!! How much fun you have!!!!!!!! Here in southern CA, people are too conscious of how they look & come off to others. Not something I would see unless maybe parts of Hollywood! 😉
You are creating great memories!!!!
Valerie says
November 27, 2011 at 9:40 amThat’s ADORABLE! I think the closest we came to a new tradition was showing our Anti-Black-Friday Rebel Flag by going to the science museum instead of the stores. Which was fun, but would have been more so if we’d been wearing these hats. 🙂
Hanlie says
November 27, 2011 at 10:34 amCape Town is too windy for that, but it sure looks like fun! Love the pics!
Lori says

Nan says
November 27, 2011 at 10:38 amOh we did a 5k as a family this year.
Lots of walking but we did it, Miz!!!
Shelley B says
November 27, 2011 at 11:00 amHow fun – love it!!! We continued our new Thanksgiving tradition that we started last year with getting up early to do the Turkey Trot, followed by going to the movies (this year it was The Muppets – so good!).
