just US

we were beach bound for the Thanksgiving Holiday this year.  Change is good....sometimes.

but first things first.... our aunt susu came in town and we couldn't sneak away without celebrating "smith" style at our mimi's house.

the kiddie table...full!!!!

a little love

a favorite place of interest is MIMI's CLOSEt....where else?

 our BAY view at the beach....

 first things FIRST....ice cream cone!

and a trip to PIRATE ISLAND

on the bridge to pirate island

paradise for sure

a pirate roost

home away from home

we were so excited to find baby caroline at the beach too!

the happiest, best baby EVER was.... good parents?  good genes?  whatever it is, she is the best i have ever seen!  

we dined fancy for Thanksgiving.

very festive, very much missing our lolly.....

more love.

naps.

and as i sit here and "blog" i am THANKFUL to have my littlest lamb BACK, he is a big daddy's baby and will NOT share or leave his arms....so he is curled up in my lap as we i type....bliss! And i can NOW justify allowing JUST my monkey to go spend weekends with his big daddy.... He gets NO time when my little lamb is around... And God BLESS a middle baby.... he gets in where he fits in.   But not to fret, i think we have more than enough love for all of them....

i took my monkey ice skating for the first time.  he did great!  lucky for me... i got to ice skate AGAIN and AGAIN.... The village sets up an ice skating rink in the winter months....very clever!

more to come.... santa was there... 

i hope you and yours had a happy thanksgiving holiday weekend.
