Milo singing

A while back we visited Grandpa and Grandma (we call Jiji and Baba).

We haven't seen them in a few months so Milo was ecstatic!

The next day, he just started to sing a Jiji Baba song♥

♫じぃじ、ばぁば♫

Christmas 2016 ♥♥♥ クリスマス♥

Opening gifts--Time lapse ♥

みんなでプレゼント交換。

タイムラプスになってます。

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Interesting fact:  The Smith Family has always been outnumbered by girls.

Well...every since James and I started a family, we are now outnumbered by BOYS!

What is happening?!?!

My dad is happy, I'm sure.

メリークリスマ～ス！

スミス一家はいつも女の子ばかりだったけど、子供が生まれてからは男の子ばかりです。

おもしろいね～

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

みなさん素敵なクリスマスだったでしょうか？

今度はお正月！

2016年ももうすぐ終わりですね。

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this year!

We gathered at my parents house once again and had a great feast!

This was Milo's first Thanksgiving!

And now that he's 10 months old with a new set of teeth, he was able to enjoy the meal with us.

Yay for soft food like mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, etc.

He didn't get to try any of the turkey but next year for sure.

And I will forever be thankful for my family♥

Family get together for my Grandmother ♥

We had a get together for my ailing Grandmother.

Unfortunately, she is not doing well... We decided to gather on Sunday since her niece (my second aunt) is in town from Japan.  

My mother put together an amazing lunch for us!

Sashimi, sushi rolls, baked salmon, etc.  

Too pretty to eat!

Milo + Mommy♥

Me and my sis.

The 'guys' took shots of whiskey.

(This resulted in a very sleepy James later on...)

I will try to visit my Grandmother as much as I can...but it's hard when my car is still in the shop :(

I can't tell you how much I dislike our rental car right now...

Mmm Crepes ♥

BaBa made some delicious Strawberry & Whipped cream dessert crepes ♥♥ YUM!

Milo is now 2 months old!

♥

Milo does really well with his Grandpa...so calm and quiet.

Christmas 2015 (part 2) VIDEOS ♥

Opening presents♥

Christmas 2015 (part 1) PHOTOS ♥

I made sure to get a photo of the boys BEFORE the chaos and mess of opening presents.

"cheese!"

My parents were so awesome--they brought over home-cooked meals over for us.

And instead of driving over to my parents they all decided to come over to our house!

It was nice because being 8 months pregnant, I can do only so much...

Thanks guys!

♥

I didn't get to take too many photos because it was crazy!  But here are the few shots I got.

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday!

Check out Luka's awesome Turtle shirt!

From Pa-Paw!

Kai turned 4 ! (photos)

Kai turned 4 last Wednesday but I had a small family get together on Sunday ♥

先週の水曜日で4歳になりました！

I love my new chalkboard markers.  

I had fun making these signs.  Some fun facts about Kai ♥

Luka was having a blast too!

ルカもネクタイしてみた。

ばぁば！

Auntie was running late so the kids started their lunch.

Luka was already pretty tired and he eventually fell asleep on his high chair.

子供達は先にランチ。

でもルカはもう限界でした。イスでコックリ。

Lotsa prezzies♥ Including unique ones from Japan!

Auntie literally just returned from Japan the day before so he got some cool toys.

A cool Doodle-pad from the grandparents and I bought him more clothes and a mini skateboard.

Books and movies.  He seemed very happy ♥

プレゼントはいろいろ貰ったね！

得にスペシャルだったのが日本からのおもちゃ。

エリカおばちゃんと曾ばあちゃんが昨日日本から帰国したばっかり。

珍しいおもちゃ貰ってよかったね！

Bad lighting but I made the cake this year.

Japanese-style strawberry shortcake.

I went with the Lightning McQueen theme so I got a Cars cake topper..Balloons and everything!

今年は急いでケーキ作り。

毎年と変わらず、いちごショートケーキです。

♥

After a LONG nap Luka finally woke up and got to enjoy a piece of cake.

やっと長い昼寝から起きたルカちゃん。

ケーキ貰いました。美味しそうに食べてた！
