Happy Holidays with the Smooke's 2019!!!

Well the pictures speak volumes! What a fun, busy exciting few months has been for us!! Between, starting 6th grade (SBMS) and 3rd grade (MDE), fall parties, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years and in a couple weeks it will be Hannah's 9th birthday with the sparkle bus. (Forgot to mention my Houston half marathon coming up with Mike Larsen and Michael Feinberg on January 19th). So, I hope you enjoy all the fun pictures of our busy, hectic life we've been rushing through. Finally a lazy Sunday today that I can regroup and relax and reflect on all the fun that Jacqueline and I have had with our smart, successful girls these past couple months! So, let's get started: Madison wanted to trick or treat with her friends, Natalie, Sophia and Violet as VSCO girls: So, they had the idea of Madison being the metal straw, one was a VSCO girl , one was a sea turtle(yeah, I had NO IDEA what that was - apparently some TIC TOC thing kind of like '90's girls with scrunchies and save the turtles). Jacqueline and Hannah were with Milana and Allesandra as Zombie VSCO girls. I stayed home and passed out Halloween candy! Thanksgiving we had Auntie Erin, Uncle Mike, Aunt Stacy and Jake in town and took lots of pics (Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving reenactment and fun golf course pics) Girls had so much fun with their 4 yr. old cousin, Jacob! Getting to be such a big boy! Hanukkah was (as expected) chock full of amazing presents, including a Barbie house, more Ken dolls, a Razor scooter and a hoverboard (which they HAVE NOT STOPPED riding). Since the weather has been so nice, we have constantly been outside, heating the jacuzzi, running (25 miles per week), playing with friends, Lauren, Sophia, Jules. Natalie and Hannah's friends Maddie, Riley, Violet. Tons of time with their cousin, Emily! She is getting to be such a big girl. We love spending time with cousins Amira and Erin, too! Hannah loved going to the American Girl store. Christmas was amazing complete with a bubbie and poppa Rich sleepover! Lots of presents under the tree. New Years was spent at home with the Cooks, the Cohens, the Weiners, the Larsens, the Knoblauchs. What a fun time!! 2020 promises to be a great future. Finally we capped it all off with a fun Galveston Sunday with Lala at Pleasure Pier on January 5th, 2020. See fun pictures!
