We woke up to snow on the ground this morning. The kids went outside and played for most of the morning making a snowman and fort. We LOVE the snow!!!! We just wonder if it will last until Christmas!?!?

White Christmas??
December Happenings
December has been busy with many different "happenings". We will just post a few of them.
We went looking at Christmas lights. This is ONE house and it is SO amazing!!!!!! We thought it was funny that the house next door says "Ditto!" with an arrow pointing to this house. 
We went and picked out a live tree for our front room. I had won a $50 gift certificate at a local nursery, so we got this tree for 87 cents. I LOVE a bargain!!!!!
We made candy cane reindeer for an advent activity.
This was a fun project that we did for one of our advent activities. Dad showed us how to make cardinal ornaments for our Christmas tree.
We went to Aunt Dee and Uncle Dave's home in Nampa for a Smith Family Christmas party. We love being able to see and spend time with our Great Grandma Smith. We also went to her home at the beginning of December to celebrate her 89th birthday!!!!
Benjamin and Spencer enjoying yummy treats at Spencer's school Christmas party. Sarah and Andrew had fun parties as well.
Andrew had a Christmas Music Program at school. He did a great job!
We went to our ward Christmas Breakfast and visited with friends and SANTA!!

Happy Thanksgiving
We had a fun time with family on Thanksgiving! We ate LOTS of yummy food! We had a memorable program! We made FUN projects! We played ALL day with cousins!! We LOVED having Thanksgiving at the barn! Thank you to everyone who made it a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!
PS. Big bummer that Eliza's mom and dad were sick that day so she missed out on being in the picture!
Real Shepherds
Our Grandpa Smith went to Jerusalem and Egypt and brought back some fun gifts for everyone. Here are a few pictures of what he brought us. It was interesting to see the videos of his travels and to eat food from Jerusalem! Thanks for thinking of us, Grandpa! We can't wait to wear our gifts when we act out Luke 2 on Christmas Eve.
Nathan is wearing real Egyptian clothing. Everyone else is wearing clothing from Jerusalem. 
Uncle Karl and his boys are wearing clothing from Jerusalem. Don't you think Uncle Karl looks like a REAL shepherd??
