It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Since the beginning of the Cody and Britt uniting, we have always tried to do a Christmas service in December. This year, we heard that a school nearby us was not given any donations from stores nearby for there Santa's breakfast for needy families. So, the kiddos thought they could clean out there toys and clothes to give to these families.

We have done something every year in the past, but I think this year they really got it!


Cody and I were invited to a Christmas Sweater party, so we thought we would go as BRIGHT as possible!!


Even a cute photo booth was set up!!



Kara and Tyson were the hosts and it was AMAZING!! I wish I had pics of the decor...it would knock your Christmas socks off.
The food was fabulous too provided by my mother-n-law!! :)


Crewser's school put on a Christmas concert. His Kindergarten class had three songs to perform. Crew was asked to sing a duet with another boy in the other kindergarten class. He did a great job! (If I can figure out how to get the video off my camera, I will post it!)


Right after the kindergartner's sang, someone pulled the fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate and stand in the parking lot for 45 min. Since Crew was done, we were out of there! Whew!


After concert treats!


YUM!!

Giving Thanks!

Jersi is thankful for Preschool. She got to make this lovely turkey hat at her grandma's preschool, and is loving it!



I've decided to name these three "the triple threat", that's right big wide world, watch out for these three!! ( I say this because we are mostly dominated by boys on the Smith side...we girls need to represent!)

(Cousins 4 life: Kamryn, Jersi and Makenna)


We stole baby Kamryn for a photo shoot.....I don't even think mama knew.



Jersi's photo skills! What a sweet baby!! Love those cheeks!


Cousins getting ready to make apple turkeys!


Look at these skills.


Crew said he was thankful for food this year.


Jersi said she was thankful for family.


We decided collectively as a family that Denim was thankful for snacks, and here's the proof. I think maybe we can say the same for Drewser too!


I am thankful for so many things this year....

My Husband
Kiddos
My Health
A House
A Job
The Gospel
My Extended Family
My Ward and Neighbors
A Free Country

Love this place!


Love our cabin in Alpine! I grew up going here since I was eight.


My kids love it too, and this Fall it was exceptionally beautiful!


Look at those long piggies!


Piles and piles of leaves were raked...


Thanks to Cody's parents and Cody, the task was accomplished!



Until next time!!!!
