New Years Eve 2011

Happy New Year's Eve 2011! We went out to our land to shoot some fireworks (since the burn ban has been lifted and fireworks are for sale!)

 Phil and Reagan surveying the land :)

 Taylor, being Taylor!

 The closest I got to a picture of both of them!

 Who knew you could find sticks in the woods?!?!

 Of course you need a shovel when you are out on the land!

 Daddy got the fire started!

 Brotherly and Sisterly LOVE!

 And then she started screaming!

 Happy little girl in the back of T's truck!

 Reagan & Taylor checking out all the fireworks with Grams!

 Let the fun begin - sparklers for everyone!

 Grams & Taylor watching from afar!

 T taught Reagan how to light his own fireworks...from a safe distance :)

 Reagan lit it - all by himself!

 Helping get ready for artillery shells!

 Looking up in the sky at the moon and fireworks

 Reagan lit a Roman Candle - and LOVED watching it shoot!

 Happy New Years Eve - from Grams, Taylor, T & Reagan!

Happy New Years Eve - from Reagan, Phil, Taylor & Beki!

I'll Take You for a Ride on my Big Green Tractor!

This afternoon, Daddy, Reagan & T are going to mow our land in preparation for tomorrow's fireworks display! :)

 Look at me, Mommy!

 Playing with all the gears

Turning the steering wheel - makes the wheels turn, in case you didn't know!

Air Popped Popcorn Popper

This afternoon, after school, we tried out Reagan's new popcorn popper!

 Getting anxious about the popcorn!

 Taylor, on the other hand, wasn't too excited...until it started popping!

Pure excitement! Only 1/2 cup of kernels made over 2 BIG bowls of popcorn!

Thanks Granma & Papa for lots of fun and some yummy popcorn!

Reagan LOVES his CARS snuggly!

Reagan LOVES his CARS snuggly that his Aunt Brenda and Cousin Matt got him for Christmas!

He watches his morning television shows while hanging out in his snuggly!

Thanks for the warmth :)

Tea Party Time

Taylor LOVES her new tea set :)

As you can see, she has set up tea for 4 this morning!

Christmas Dinner at Jerry & Jean's

Every Christmas (as long as I have been in the Smith family - and WAY before that!), we all load up and head over to Jerry & Jean's for Christmas dinner - and this year was no different!

Taylor & Phil loving on Raymond

Taylor in a stare down with Lila

Taylor and the Christmas tree

Reagan got bored, because there were no other children to play with (besides his sister), so he asked Jerry if he could watch Shrek in their bed!

Granma & Taylor - this is a rarity that she lets Granma hold her - so we had to get a picture!

Papa, Taylor, Reagan & Granma in the bed watching Shrek!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night! :)

Christmas with Granma & Papa

After nap time, Granma & Papa came over to open presents, play for a bit, and then head over to Jerry & Jean's for Christmas dinner!

 Reagan was super excited about the Charlie Brown wrapping paper!

 Taylor LOVES her new tea set!

 More baby dolls! YAY! :)

 Slot CARS! Now we can race Daddy! :)

 Reagan's very own air popped pop corn popper! 

 Another baby doll!

 And a pram stroller! Such fun!

Of course we HAD to try it out on the dining room table!

Whew! Presents are all opened, the tree is a tad bare, but our hearts are full! Thank you to everyone for everything!

Now, off to Christmas dinner at Jerry & Jean's!

Christmas with the Lovelady Family

After we were finished seeing what Santa brought Reagan & Taylor, Grams & T, Aunt Leah, Cousin Matt and Aunt Brenda came over to celebrate Christmas with us, open presents, eat breakfast, and watch Christmas movies!

 Reagan got an Etch a Sketch!

 And more cars!

 A new Green Bay Packers t-shirt, that we hope to be wearing on February 5th while watching the Super Bowl!

A CARS snuggly!

T got both kiddos the book "God's Christmas Promise" that is a recordable book - so they can hear his voice read to them whenever they want!

Taylor got a Belle doll and a new princess blanket!

Taylor also got a new Green Bay Packers shirt :)

A new cell phone - what every little girl needs!

Checking out the stockings from Grams & T

Daddy checking out Taylor's stocking - incase you can't tell, they have already busted out some of the candy! Check out those cheeks!

Taylor carrying around a Twix, in hopes someone would open it for her!

Taylor got her very own baby stroller - complete with baby!

Aunt Brenda & Cousin Matt getting a kick out of the calendars that we made them!

While breakfast was being made, Reagan read with Grams

Taylor trying to get T to open more candy :)

Aunt Leah reading with Grams!

Taylor reading with Grams - guess we all know who can read in this family :)

Beki got an iPad! :)

After presents were opened, breakfast made and eaten, and the kitchen cleaned up, it was time for some Christmas movies!

Stay tuned - round 2 down, round 3 to go - but after nap time :)
