Christmas Extravaganza Recap!

Like many married couples, this Christmas involved traveling, merriment and family.

But, unlike many other married couples, the festivities for us have yet to come to and end. After new year's weekend hopefully things can go a little back to normal. Well, one can dream.

Let me tell you another tid bit about SmithCale. He cannot surprise anyone. Once he buys what he's wants to give to you, it drains all his manna NOT give it to you then.

So I cut him off at the pass and waited to buy his gift later, so that it would at least be the same week of Christmas before we opened gifts.

We're so sad, we don't even wrap them.

Then we celebrated with our BFFs, Monni and Jim!

Isn't this the most adorable picture of Monni?

SmithCale received a lot of "awesome" gifts! (No pun intended!)

LOVE!

This next round of pictures were actually taken Dec. 11th, yeah we do realize that's early.

Sean was overwhelmed by the power. But, Clayton (my FIL below), fully understands.

We were doing a white elephant exchange, and I let SmithCale be in charge of the camera. He always catches my best.

Fast forward to Christmas Day:
My brother, Ian, joined us at the farm!

Later on, I caught Scott mocking somebody. No feelings were actually hurt in this picture.

Our wonderful hostess, M, and her daughter, Diane (my sweet MIL).

And our host, Poppa.

Hannah and Cousin Amy

Without exaggeration this is a picture of the best gift I got this year. All the ladies wearing the aprons M lovingly made, and Hannah with all the best white elephant gifts of the year.

On a sad note, we came home to find our neighbor's house had caught fire on Christmas.
Please pray for them during this time.
