Christmas Day 2009

What a Christmas we had!! First of all, with all the excitement...Charlie woke up and totally forgot it was Christmas. Chas and I were looking at each other in amazement that he forgot!
Once we asked him if the reindeer food was gone...he started to jump up and down and ran downstairs! Santa brought him a jackhammer (that is really what he wanted), tool set, hockey stick (just started), and tons of candy! After presents we went to my parent's house to open more presents and then off to my mom's sister's house for more fun, family, and food!! Crazy two days, but worth it! We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

My cousin Erika made this and we all couldn't believe
how WELL DONE this was! She was so detailed in
EVERYTHING...the picture doesn't do any justice!
She literally melted butterscotch for the windows and had
pretzels as logs in the back of the house!!! So beautiful Erika
you should enter contests with those!!

The new Hoffman's!

Crazy Smith family!

Grandma and Grandpa Smith! WE love you two!!

This year I started a grab bag with the ladies of the
family! What a hit! I had to buy the gag gift and I
tried not to be too naughty! It was a grinch PJ set,
but the gag of it is that whom ever gets the gift has to
wear both or one of the pieces! I bought an X-Large so
it would look silly on everybody! Guess who got it this year?

YEP...my beautiful sister, and she tucked them
so lovely in her designer boots!
