Our Family Thanksgiving Photo

Home again home again....Baby Lucy!

Our flight left two hours late so we had a little time to kill in the airport. We visited with Snow White, one of my new BFFs....and Mickey Mouse

We finally got home at 6 pm and I gave both Mystic and Camille big welcome home hugs. Then, I went to bed! I was tired. Up at 5 am. Ugh for Mama and Daddy. Asleep by 6:05 tonight, too.

Today, I met Baby Lucy, Zoe's new 3 day old baby sister. I loved her. While Mama was putting me to sleep, she asked me if I wanted a baby sister or brother and I told her "Yes". Daddy and Michael took me and Zoe to the Santa Monica Pier this afternoon. We went on the carousel, an airplane ride and the Ferris Wheel. So much fun!

Thanksgiving Weekend Fun!

On Tuesday, Chelsea went back to Tampa and Alex came to visit....and then the whole Goldstein/Spiegler clan came on Wednesday. Here I am with Cousin Stephanie!

And, at the pool with Mema and Pepa!

I kept asking Pepa to push me into the pool and Grandma caught me.

There was a "maze" for kids in the activity center. Early in the morning, big people were allowed to come in to help little people like me. I always dragged Grandma in with me.

At the activity center, I made a pine cone turkey (with a little help from Mama)

Here is part of our untraditional Thanksgiving dinner. Stuffed pork loin....

I would say "yum!" but I slept starting at the beginning of the meal for 3 hours (it was 4 pm and I hadn't napped all day). I slumped in my chair and asleep I was, bib and all.

On the day after Thanksgiving, I went to lunch with Mema, Barbara, Ron and Stephanie and we fed the fish and saw a turtle. Fun!

Then, Daddy let me have the cupcake he bought me for Thanksgiving. I insisted on having a "candle" to celebrate Mommy's birthday early.

And, on our last night together, we went to Karaoke Night at the pool bar. Everyone had fun. Mama and I sang "Twinkle, Twinkle" and Mama sang "Bohemian Rhapsody". Michael sang many songs, including "I'm too sexy..." He was funny!

Smart or Manipulative?

I have a new playmate and her name is Grandma. Tomorrow, I might just give her a break because Mema, Pepa, Barbara, Stephanie, Ron and Michael are coming. For now, it is Grandma. We had a relaxing day....went swimming (with Grandma), then shopping (with Mommy, Grandma and Chelsea), came back and played with my babies (with Grandma)....then, Grandma insisted on having some dinner....I kept asking, "are you done"? And, I gave her about a 5 minute notice that I was almost done. Then, we played with the babies more and I asked Daddy to please get up and go with me in the other room. I found my swim diaper and a bathing suit, had him help me put them on and then went to Grandma and told her she needed a bathing suit. It is 8:30 at night and I am swimming for the second time today (Mama hijacked the blog and is posting about it). Mommy and Daddy are so thankful to have so many playmates here for me this week.

Sea World!!

We had a wonderful day at SeaWorld. Thanks, Uncle Stephen, for taking us! There were so many things I saw that I haven't stopped talking about. Shamu definitely being in the top 5. The good news is that with the purchase of admission, we can go back as many times as we want until December 2010!!

The very first sea animal I saw was the Sea Turtle!

One of our first stops was the aquarium where we saw so many different kinds of fish and sea animals. Some of them are below, but we saw so many more.

These fish swam above me! Don't they look like ghosts?

Octopus!

Grandma and me surrounded by many Nemos!

Waiting for Shamu! A little pre-show Cheetos eating.

Shamu!! I told anyone who would listen to me since seeing Shamu, including total strangers in the elevator that "I saw Shamu!" When we got home/before dinner, I went swimming again and told Mama that I was Shamu in the water!

The penguin exhibit...

We had a long day....we were at Sea World for 5 or 6 hours. Me....tired? No way. Before dinner, I took Grandma swimming. I finally got tired and was ready to go in for dinner.

Daddy had his former colleague, Dean, and family join us for a barbecue feast. We had a dry run to fit 12 people in our condo for Thanksgiving and it worked out perfectly!

Blueberry Pancakes, Swimming and Ariel

The Marriott where we are staying has a whole center dedicated to kids! This morning, I went and decorated a chef's hat to get ready to make blueberry pancakes.

And, here I am eating my pancake.

After a bunch of eating (I had already eaten lox and blueberries before my pancake eating), we went to the pool for A LOT of jumping and swimming. I told Grandma that I wanted to "do it myself". So, Uncle Steve bought me some floaties for when I go back to the pool tomorrow.

We went to Cafe Tu Tu Tango for dinner. It was a very cool restaurant with artists everywhere making art ... they had dancers dance and they had a "balloon guy" who came and made me an Ariel balloon. You can see me and Ariel below though it is hard to see how impressive it is because of the angle.

Rabbit Kinney and off to Florida...

Here is the photo selected from my Rabbit Kinney photo shoot...

The t-shirts are awesome and here I am on the way to Florida coloring in my Rabbit Kinney coloring book.

We flew all the way to Orlando today....when we arrived, we relaxed with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Steve and Cousin Chelsea. Here I am with Grandma making phone calls. I was ordering a smoothie and other snacks.

Daddy has to work on Monday, so Uncle Steve is taking me, Chelsea, Mama and Grandma to SEA WORLD!!
