We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Grammy and Papa Smith's house. The girls loved every second of it and didn't want to leave. Grammy and Papa got them new big girl air mattresses to sleep on instead of pack n plays. The girls loved bouncing and rolling all over them. The crack between the two beds seemed to be the best part.
Of course, Riley was once again into dressing up and playing mommy to her baby. I think that she was starting to feel the stresses of motherhood in this picture. Those darn kids always need something. :) Also, notice Sanna in the background playing with her beloved Weebles.
Grammy and Papa were nice enough to watch the girls on Saturday while Ryan and I went to a soccer game in Chicago. Apparently wrestle mania broke out in the evening. Here Riley has a frustrated Sanna pinned down for the count. At first I thought that this was a loving sister moment captured on camera, but then I could see the glimmer of mischief in Riley's eyes, and the look of desperation in Sanna's. I'm certain that Sanna eventually got her revenge with a cheap shot or two.
The girls are obsessed with two things: the cats, Clinton and Cleo, and hide and seek. This is Sanna's idea of an ingenious hiding spot. If she closes her eyes and puts her head inside of something no one will ever find her. It is a perfect recipe for invisibility.
Poor Cleo had her house ransacked by the crazy twins AGAIN. Poor cat, there is no hiding from them. I'm sure that the Smith animals all breathe a collective sigh of relief as we exit the house. :)
Thanks to all of Grammy and Papa's hard work, Thanksgiving was a success and, once again, reminded us of all of the things that we have to be thankful for, especially family and laughter.

I love all of the COOL pajamas!
It was such a fun time with the girls. I love the flashback Christmas picture. I remember that day and the many attempts at that perfect Christmas card photo.
