Thanksgiving at the BEACH!

Well, if you've never tried Thanksgiving at the beach, I highly recommend it. We got the idea from my friend Dawn, who spends every Thanksgiving with her in-laws at the beach. Well, we got to talking last Christmas with Billy's family and decided it was wrth a try. It has been great. The weather is cool, there are no lines, no traffic and the beach is almost deserted. It's like our own private island! We've also had such a nice time visiting with Billy's family...some of you may remember, Amy, Billy's sister, had a baby the same day as the twins. Reid is a doll and we have loved sitting around watching all the 7 month olds. Of course you can only imagine the "gear" that is here with us. In addition, we also have the ever so entertaining Gant. He is 4 yrs old now...he has been making us laugh the whole time.
Look at these precious babies on their first beach trip. We waited until just the right light and thankfully the twins attitudes decided it was also a good time. I was the "perfect storm" and we ended up getting the best pictures. Stay tuned for a little Christmas card with one, or a few of them included!
Henley has her new thing...and it's dancing. She has put on quite a show for all of us. This is her "in action." Please note the dress...it is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Look closely and you can see Santa riding a horse to the barn...I mean really? Does it get any cuter?
This is Davis's matching outfit his Nonni found him on ebay. They were too cute. Davis had a big time on the porch with Gigi. He had to wear his hat though...that baby skin can't be exposed!
We seem to attract attention wherever we go with these two and this trip down to the beach was no exception. A stranger stopped us and asked if we wanted a group photo and since these full family photos are rare in our world, I thought Iwould post it. Please excuse my appearence. I've been busy tending to babies and just not caring at the beach....it's been great!
