While I was there I picked up a couple of Mrs. Smith's Pumpkin pies and a Cherry pie to stick in the freezer for Thanksgiving. They didn't have any Apple pies. What's up with that? I hate waiting until the week before to get my pies because by then they always seem to be out of what I want. I hardly ever make homemade pies anymore, because I love Mrs. Smith's pies just as well and they're so easy to just stick 'em in the oven. That's a no-brainer for me, especially since we're having 20+ people this year.
Thanks for saying it's OK to listen to my Christmas music now. Phew! And MotherDear also likes the idea of doing a bit of Christmas decorations for Thanksgiving Day, too. She may even put up her little tree. It's only about 4 or 5 feet tall and she puts it on an end table in front of the window with all her special ornaments. My tree will not fit anywhere in this house, so that's going to have to do it. I am thinking of getting a narrow Alpine tree, because my favorite thing about Christmas is seeing all my special ornaments from over the years. All unique and special. We shall see...

Well, you can never predict what will become a child's Special Thing and this Monkey Lovie, named Peter, is Aria's most Special Thing! In fact, Aria loved Peter so much that her Mommy and Nana worried how Aria would react should Peter be met by some... shall we say, horrible fate?! (Poor Peter was accidentally thrown out once!)

Peter II is in Aria's crib at home.
(Aria only gets Peter for naps and night naps.)

Well, after seeing that Aria dressed as a monkey for Halloween, Nancy commented that Aria, or Aria's Mommy and Daddy, must really love monkeys! I can assure you, the choice is all Aria's!
Aria has a monkey backpack/harness.

As you might suspect, there is now a George I and George II.
Just in case. :->

Go out and put some YAY! in your day! I know I will! Big Hugs ♥xo
9 friends stopped by:
awww what a little doll, i mean little monkey! ha ha
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxo
we love monkeys in our family just as much! We have the monkey harness too and LOVE curious george. Have a beautiful day while listening to that music.
Our monkey is actually giraffes! She loves them, since she was wee little. Always got excited when they came on tv. I think it had something to do with the pattern of their coats.
Great pics, she is growing up so fast, and that beautiful curly hair!!
I had to laugh at Empress Bee. Again.
We don't shop in Wal*Mart so I don't know about those pies. Are they the same Mrs. Smith's you get in the grocery stores? I'm thinking maybe.
Way cool on Christmas showing up at your house before Thanksgiving. I like Christmas music too.
Aria and her Monkey Lovie is adorable.
Have a terrific day. Big hug and lotsa lovies and scritches to all the babies. :)
Miss Macey is our monkey girl. She has always loved them. Ansley has her special Pooh...and knew that Pooh II at my (Grammie's) house wasn't the real deal. Sigh. Haley and I should have swapped them around so they were both equally 'loved.' What a doll Aria is, but we've known that for a long time.
Big hugs, honey...
Aria and her monkey are so cute!
I'm looking forward to going over board with the Xmas and Hanukka decor this year because I didn't decorate at all for Halloween which is not like me.
Hus is not looking forward to this!lol
Maybe I will put on some Xmas music today!
I had a sock monkey when i was that age. fond memories. thanks.

awwwwwwww... cute... I wanted to have a chimpanzee for a brother when I was little. Don't know why... I just thought it would be cool.
I think we're getting Mrs Smith's pies too, probably pumpkin and cherry. They smell fantastic while they bake.
