Tameka Foster Raymond was spotted chill-axin  and showing off her beach body in the French Riviera Caribbean during her Thanksgiving holiday.

This year marks the first year that single mother is without her kids, for as you know she recently honored the court order to turn her sons over to their “primary” caretaker, Usher Raymond by November 20, 2012.

It’s great to see Tameka finally smiling and going forward with her life but I can’t help but notice the pain behind that smile.

[Sidebar: You may not recall, but she was actually in the same locale (Anguilla) when she received that horrible call that her 11 year-old son, Kile Glover, had been critically injured by a jet ski accident. ]

Tameka held a party to celebrate Cinco’s 5th birthday last week (click HERE for pics), and then apparently hopped on a plane to deal with her first Thanksgiving without Kile and without the presence of her two youngest sons.

Meanwhile… back at the ranch, Usher honored his newfound parental duties by hosting his own 5th birthday bash for Lil Cinco over the weekend.

The photo above was posted on Twitter by some attendees of the celebration, but I also received the following tip on Saturday:

Hey ATLien, I just spotted Usher at SkyZone in Atlanta! He’s here with about 75/80 people throwing a birthday party for his son. He has reserved the whole top floor for the party and the cake even has his son’s face on it.

I would send some pictures but I couldn’t get close enough and didn’t want to be too obvious LOL LOL

A lil digging turned up a picture of the cake and a few more commando type “sneak” tweets on twitter…

We all knew Cinco was gonna have another party. It’s not uncommon with divorced parents.

I just wish these two could get along for at least an hour so that the boys could have both parents at the same dayum time, but whatEV… I guess it works.

And yeah… I saw that Tameka tried to put me on blast, but ain’t nobody got time for that.  I send her nothing but positive energy and well-wishes and pray that things turn around for her.
