More Christmas

Christmas Day night we went to my parents' house. We had dinner there and then opened presents.

Here is Courtney with her presents.

Here is Lindsey. She's so cute, but she's getting to that age where she has that funny, fake smile that if she doesn't really laugh or something you get this weird smile....

Their big present from Honey and Granddad was a doll house and A LOT of rooms/accessories.

Lindsey got a BIG GIRL tea party from Uncle Taylor and Amber. It is not plastic, has a holder and will break...thus, big girl!

Courtney got some Dora movies, which she will love and we needed after ours were lost on our trip to Disney World!

Santa left stockings there for them too....so they got to find goodies there too!

This is a fairly new tradition at the Smith Christmas. It comes from some Watts cousins...

It is the peppermint pig. It is supposed to be for good luck or something. Not really sure. It is this hot pink pig, then you put it in this red bag, hit it with this hammer, then tell what your "good fortune" was for this past year. I guess then you are supposed to eat the peppermint pieces after everyone has "hit" the pig, but we don't. Please take note of Ryan in the background...can you tell he's excited? He does a good job of playing along for Honey and the girls. :)

Courtney hitting the pig...

The next morning, Honey and Granddad brought out 2 last presents...rocking chair and big Mickey Mouse!

Here is Uncle Taylor (I think someone asked me to post a picture of my brother...) If you ever eat at Tim's Pizza on the square, look for him there!!

Here is Amber, who we hope will soon be Aunt Amber. NO, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING for those of you reading this and would be wondering. I just type that with literal hope! We are all ready for her to be part of our family! The girls LOVE her! She and Taylor are both so good with them. We are lucky to have such great uncles and aunts!!
Here is our lone family picture from the entire Christmas holiday. Not perfect, but at least we have one! It was as we were leaving mom and dad's house! Then as I looked back I realized Granddad wasn't in the pictures either...sorry Dad! This is the ONLY one I am in from the ENTIRE weekend with ALL the families!

Again, as we were leaving, mom wanted to take a picture with Roscoe. Here is the scenerio if you can't tell from the picture. Mom is on ready, like those of us with kids know that adults have to be, Courtney doesn't have a clue we are taking a picture, she's just hanging out talking and laying her head on the chair, Roscoe won't look, so I was snapping my fingers. So, look at Lindsey...there she is snapping her fingers trying to get Ros to look at me! HILARIOUS is what it turned out to be without any picture worth anything more than laughs! Gotta love it...

As soon as we got home they wanted their doll house set up. For now it is in Lindsey's room. We reminded her several times that it was STILL Courtney's and her's, but just in her room. So far it has worked out well. They LOVE playing with it! Thank you to Honey and Granddad!
