Snow Day

It was so much fun to get this snow storm, Braxton was such a big help shoveling the snow. I can't believe how much we got.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

Christmas Eve we spend with my side of the family. We got together for some food, our annual nativity of the grandkids ( Braxton was a wiseman and Bailey was the angel), and giving our presents to each other. I love spending time with family.

Bailey likes her cousins.

Christmas Morning we stayed at home and opened presents. Both sets of Grandparents came to visit. We had fun playing with our toys and watching movies. Then in the evening we went Doug's parents for some good food and more presents. We had a wonderful Christmas.

Christmas morning, Braxton is so excited to open presents and Bailey is just excited.

Marbles, pillow pet, zhu zhu pets oh my!

Bailey loves her babies

All our fun treasures on our new console table, Bailey loves to sit on it. She is pointing at me, she is always pointing at everyone.

Christmas Festivities

We had an enjoyable Christmas season, here are a few pictures of some of the things we did the weeks before Christmas.


Braxton and Bailey saw Santa Claus at Maceys, I love that my kids are not afraid of Santa.

Braxton sang with his class at school, he was so cute to watch.

Gardner Village

I love getting Christmas ornaments at The Village Christmas Shoppe at Gardner Village, so we took a little trip up there. We walked around fed the ducks and looked for elves. It's such a cute place, I love going there.

The ducks love the bread.

There were these two white ducks that would let us pet them.

Bailey would squeal when the ducks came up.

William was more interested in eating the bread then feeding the ducks.

Annual Friend's Christmas Party

We had our annual Christmas Party with friends from high school, we were missing a few this year, but nonetheless it was a great time. We had some great food to eat everybody brought something delish, we had our white elephant gift giving, which has actually turned into the kids picking and stealing. It was a good night to visit and enjoy each others company. Wish I would have gotten some better pictures of everyone, but you know how it goes.

Smith Family Pictures

The weekend of Thanksgiving we finally had pictures done with the Smith side of the family. It has been seven years since we last had pictures taken, so needless to say we have grown a lot. I am so happy to finally have updated pictures.



Its a large group, kind of hard to see everyone with such a small picture size.

Doug's mom and dad, couldn't ask for better parents.
