happy thanksgiving!

we had a wonderful thanksgiving last weekend in cabo. 

(aside from passing on a bug to every member of my family. so, so sorry.) 

we had the best time, and ivy was in. heaven.

she loves playing with staples and esther and being their mini teacher. 

it's the best watching them together. 

they're the cutest, smartest, funniest, sweetest little girls! ever. 

the weather was beautiful, and the weekend was relaxing and perfect.

(except for the sick bit. sorry again.)

these times are so dear to me, as we're far away and our family is ever growing! 

i'm so thankful for such a beautiful place to spend some time with them. 

thank you mom & dad!

memorial day in cabo

Kevin & I haven't been down to Cabo since we were here with all the family after Christmas last year, so we were looking forward to another long visit. We arrived on Monday, a bit jet-lagged from a trip overseas we returned from oh just THE DAY BEFORE. We came with G&P to spend the week with my parents & Ivy who are already here, and Logan who gets in this evening. T & K can't make it, but we don't feel sorry for them, with their "weekends in the country" and all. (Is anyone else confused by my family's whereabouts? I can't keep track and I have like 4 calendars.) Anyway, I hardly recognized my daughter at the San Jose airport with her tan and beach-blonde hair! She's been here almost a week with Grandma & Company (6 crazy friends. Shout out to Aunt Barbie -Thank you!) The friends have gone back home, and the family is trickling in. It's been perfect weather, and I plan on doing nothing but lounging by the pool, getting massages, eating, and lounging around some more. Oh, and lifegaurding my new water bug!

yes, she goes under!

so here we all are having dinner in the most beautiful backdrop ever and does it even cross my mind to snap a group photo? no... think i'll just take a 156th one of ives... because she's eating pineapple... and it's just so darn cute.

bananagrams = addicting

We had a fun dinner at Tequilas and lunch at Cynthia's. Other than that, we stayed at home... playing bananagrams... and taking pictures of Ivy. Can't wait for next time!

{sorry gentry, pravin and logan for not getting one single photo... agh!}
