Christmas Day!!

This year for Christmas we decided to do things a little different.

We did Christmas for another family
and we helped at the food pantry.

We don't do Santa and all those stories but

we do focus on The Birth of our Savior.

This year we got to open a package to find out the baby's gender.

It was so fun to open the present on Christmas morning!

We're having another little girl - due in May.

 Grammy and Wendy came by.

The kids slept by their tree on Christmas Eve.

We hope everyone had a Great Christmas this year.

Christmas Eve

Every year our kids act out the nativity scene.

Here's some pictures of this years re-enactment.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Smith Babies are coming!

We surprised all of Shem's family by showing up 

to the family Christmas party pregnant. 

They had no idea and I'm half way along.

It was fun to see everyone and

take a picture with the other pregnant gals.

The Smith side has babies coming in March, April, and May.

Wahoo for new little babies!

1 Finished Project - tons more to do.

I'm happy to say that I did most of this project by myself.

My Dad cut the wood and Shem put marks on the wall for me.

I glued, nailed, sanded, and painted.

I couldn't have done it without them though.

The pegs will be used for back packs 

but for Christmas they were used for the stockings.

Overall it was a pretty easy and inexpensive project.
