Cookies for Santa

No more diapers!!

I'm sure Ryan won't appreciate this some day, but Mom and Dad are so proud of him :)

Fun in the snow

The boys are having a lot of fun in the snow these days. Thank goodness we have so much this year :) They love to help us shovel. Especially Ryan, he's always asking if he can go out and shovel some snow. Hopefully he'll always be a good helper!

Lovin' the tree

As you can see Ryan is really enjoying the Christmas tree. The first night we had the tree up, this is what he did...sat and watched the pretty lights

Visit with the Gruens

Over the long Thanksgiving break we managed to sneak away from our company and spend a little time with the Gruens. Hopefully our next visit will be longer. Thanks for the early Christmas gifts...the boys love them.Aidan Ethan

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had lots of company over Thanksgiving and enjoyed every minute of it :) The boys love having their cousins around to play with. Noelle (6), Kyle (3 almost 4), Grace (2) Adam (1) Eli (1) with one more Smith baby coming in March. We are so blessed to have such great family. Even though I can go a little crazy trying to keep my house in-tact...I do love having everyone here for the holidays.

Good times

My sister Kari and her family came up for Thanksgiving. While they were here we took the kids bowling. The boys had a great time with their cousins.
