Christmas with the Smiths

Smith family Christmas December 2008 (This photo was already outdated by the next day with the arrival of our newest family member, Afton Noel).

We continued our yearly tradition of decorating the gingerbread house. I think Ellie got more in her mouth than on the house.

Stacey helped make our gingerbread houses look fancy with her new frosting decorating skills.

Nothing will make two little girls smile bigger than two houses covered in candy.

After the gingerbread house came the Nativity: (we modernized it a little bit this year)

Here is the "balerina"/angel, and the mother Mary with Jesus

We also had some kind of animals... not sure what kind, but I think maybe a donkey and a sheep.

The Three Wise "Women"-- Extra wise because we all were wearing glasses. Instead of bringing the baby Gold Frankensence and Myrr, we brought gituar hero, pearls, and a sand castle kit... much more useful gifts!

You'll Shoot your eye out! Chris had us for the Secret Santa gift exchange this year, and this is what he came up with. George couldn't have been happier.

I'm not sure who was more excited about the High School Musical barbie dolls and dance mat... Alison or the girls.

Thanks mom and dad for another fun Christmas with the family!
