Randomness

Yeah! My poor little Deegy had a problem with his little man and had to have a procedure done last Thursday night. He has been sore, in pain, and naked for the last week. We haven't been able to go anywhere or do anything cuz he wouldn't put clothes on and if you saw it you wouldn't blame him but he is finally healing and yesterday we finally put underwear and pants on for the first time in a week!
Today my kids told me that they are playing apartment! Time to get out of here! Go away bad weather so I can get into my house and get all my crap back under one roof!

Santa Found Our House!

I guess cuz we have moved a couple of times recently that Santa stopped by early to make sure that we live here. Chandler answered the door and was a little surprised. Deegy was around the corner in trouble and didn't believe us that Santa was here.

He even got them a little gift which they loved.

Deegy huggn' Santa

It is funny that Chandler will just go up and sit on his lap when he used to freak out!

Christmas Eve tradition opening new pj's and getting a family pic.

Chandler got Iron Man stuff.

Deegy wanted toothless

Dad got his antlers mounted and he found the perfect spot on my wall where my clock was!

Fighting Ninja hamsters was a hit

And hot wheels

Reed and I were more excited about the games than the boys. So we played Operation, which is so much funner when your little cuz its harder.

Cup Onk is a really fun game that we all loved!
We had a fun, merry Christmas. Hope you all had a great one.

All the Smiths Together for the Weekend!

Last Thursday we drove to the Salt Lake Airport and hung out most of the night waiting for Uncle Blake to come home from the Budapest Hungry Mission! It was late but worth the wait and worth seeing him.

Seeing him for the first time!

Reed and Blake

He wanted a Carl's Jr. Burger and large Coke waiting for him at the airport when he got home!

The rest of the weekend was filled with lots of family and fun. It was good to have everyone together. We always do the nativity all the kids did great and looked so cute.

Not only did we have our family party but also the extended Smith family party too. They had some fun games that we all played. The kids had to put this nylon on their head with an orange in the bottom and swing it around til they knocked down the bottles. Chandler got a little dissy.

Can you tell that Ashlee won this one!

This was a good one. You put the Oreo on your forehead and have to get it down to your mouth with out dropping it or using your hands. It was entertaining to watch and made some great pics.

J.J. and Ashlee

Me and Carol

The boys love Uncle Blake

It looks better every day

The boys want to help too.

I know there are only a couple of days left til Christmas but I had all the tissue paper to decorate so I decided to put it up anyways.

I think I need a couple more but it is something fun.
We hope you all have a Wonderful Magical Christmas Season!!!

School Christmas Parties

I didn't get to the house in time to beat the dark but still got a couple of pics.

The boys putting up the back wall in the dark and freezing cold.

Chandler's school Christmas party. He didn't want to put the santa hat on but then he looked so cute once he did.

Chandler's class singing and they did so good!

His ginger bread (graham cracker) train.

Deegan's School Christmas program and his class also singing.

He got transformer cars from Joana in his class he was so excited.

We made another ginger bread house at his party

Now we have a whole village.

Building Houses

Yeah they started framing on our house Monday

Gradually I have been getting more excited for our house cuz things are starting to move along. I know its just a floor but I was pretty excited! Also so that things move quickly and smoothly we are trying to think about thing or plan everything out ahead of time. But we got on KSL and found some pretty cool stuff that I absolutely love.

A Chandelier from park city and I made Reed stand in the pic cuz we didn't realize how big it was until we saw it. Killer deal!

Reed was going to build a hood for the stove but he found this one and just thought it was so cool. I saw the pic and then he went and bought it. So I was a little scared but it is really beautiful. Another great deal!

Then for family home evening we always make a ginger bread house and I usually buy a kit but this year we tried it the old fashion way with regular frosting and graham crackers. it was a little harder but still fun and the kids don't care as long as they get to eat the candy and lick the frosting!

Our Snowman.

Reed putting the finishing touches and our huge mess.

Ta-Da they finished product. Reed says good thing I am not building our house.
