Christmas Day

I am truely so grateful for all that I have and to have such a wonderful family...what more could anyone ask for for Christmas?!?!? I am thankful that I was able to spend Christmas Day with my beautiful family and just relax and play. That is definitely the way that Christmas should be spent :).

We really did have a wonderful Christmas this year. We spend Christmas Eve with my mom and dad and had a fabulous time. My mom made my favorite meal, homemade lasagna {yummy!!}, and we spend the evening showering Noah with gifts. It took Noah a while to realize what was going on, but he had a fun time. My mom and dad gave him some pj's, a book, and a red wagon! I know that he is going to LOVE his wagon come summer time! My parents gave Doug and I a new set of pans!! I was so excited...I am so excited to start using them!! Thank you mom and dad for a wonderful evening!!!


On Christmas morning, Noah was a good boy and slept in until 9:30!! Doug and I were so excited to take Noah downstairs because we knew that he was going to LOVE his "big" gift...a toy kitchen! We came downstairs and Noah ran over to the kitchen and started to laugh and clap his hands! He was so excited!!! Needless to say, he spend the entire day playing with his new kitchen. He would actually get a little upset when we pulled him aside to open up another gift. I am so glad that he likes it...thank you Santa!!!


Noah also got a tool box, books, a red wagon, puzzles, a vacuum, and some clothes. He is going to have so much fun playing with his new toys. He has definitely grown out of his baby toys, so we are thankful that he got some new toys to entertain him.


We spent the evening with Doug's family and had a wonderful time...good food, good company! The highlight of the evening was when Doug's sister told us that she was pregnant! We are so excited for them!!! Noah had a wonderful time playing with all of the cousins and opening the Pinata {a Smith Family tradition!}.


After a fun filled day, we were happy to come home and get some rest. We truely had a wonderful Christmas and we hope that everyone else did too!! I will admit that I am a little sad that Christmas is over, but I look forward to next year when we have another baby to share this wonderful holiday with our family!

I have posted the rest of our Christmas pictures on the right sidebar, if your interested :).

We Wish You A Merry Christmas!!!

We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas today!!

Here is Noah when he first woke up this morning...I love his bed head!!! More Christmas pictures to come :).

"Smile"

Lately, whenever we ask Noah to smile for the camera, this is the expression that we get! He shuts his eyes really tight and does the cheesiest smile! Too funny!!!

Elf Yourself

I have had a lot of friends and family that have done this, so I decided to do it myself!! Click here to see something funny :).

Santa and Noah

We took Noah to see Santa Claus today. I kind of expected him to cry, but he was so good! He is such a good boy...I have a feeling that Santa will visit him this year :).

Fingerprint Christmas Tree

Here is Noah's Fingerprint Christmas Tree that he made at our play group this week. Yes, I helped him, but he was very focused when we were creating this little masterpiece. I just had to frame it for all to see who come to our house :).

Oh Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is by far my favorite time of year! I love the feeling of Christmas and it is such a wonderful time of year to be with your family and enjoy the spirit of Christmas! I hope that this month doesn't go by too fast!

On Saturday, we went to get our Christmas Tree! It was snowing like crazy, but we were determined to find a tree this weekend. We ended up going to FIVE different places before we found a tree that we liked for a reasonable price. It is unbelievable to me how much the tree lots sell their trees for ($50-$80! Are you kidding me?!?!?)!!! We ended up getting our tree at Lowes and we are very happy with it. I didn't get any pictures of us actually getting the tree, but here is a picture of Noah all bundled up in the car with Snuggles (this was a true family event!).

We spent tonight setting up our tree and decorating it. Noah was a great little helper and I think that our tree turned out very nice and pretty! Let the Holidays begin!

Here is the finished product!
