A Thankful Holiday

Thanksgiving 2016 was great, to say the least. We are so thankful for the amazing family and friends we have. You all make our lives so special and I'm so happy to share all of you with our children, who also love you so much. 

The only picture I took at Smith Family Thanksgiving 
Two happy girls with full bellies after a delicious Thanksgiving feast! Thank you Grammy and DeDat for a super fun, laid back and tasty holiday. We love you bunches!

Thanksgiving weekend we went to visit our family in Charlotte. These kiddos had a blast!

Hazel Rivers - 11 Months




Little Miss Personality...she loves to dance, clap her hands, give kisses and hive fives. She talks up a storm with all the babbles you could possibly think of. For sure words are Mama, Dada, hey, and baa baa. She does have a version for Moo and an interesting obsession with all things farm/barn yard related. Old MacDonald is her favorite right now, it's pretty cute. 

We love you Hazel! We can't wait to see what you'll do next!

Happy 5 Ollie!

Well, it's official.  We have a 5 year old! 

Celebrating at school on his birthday


Number 5 pancakes



A birthday Eve's dinner request...spaghetti and meatballs

No birthday would be complete without a trip to our favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate

Thank you to all of our friends and family who made  Ollie's birthday so special. He loved all his gifts and really didn't get that upset that he wasn't able to have his bowling party. Poor Ollie was sick with laryngitis and we had to cancel. The afternoon of his party we just cuddled, watched a movie and took a nap with Ollie

Happy Birthday Ollie! We love you so much ❤️
