We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season!
Here are some pictures of our Christmas
Mesa Lights
We were able to take a trip down to the Mesa Temple to see the magnificent light display there. As an added bonus we were able meet up with Karen's Best Friend Crystel and her family. Ryan got along well with her boys great, they were like the 3 amigos!

Christmas day at home
We were able to enjoy having our own family Christmas at home together and enjoying the presents as we went along. The kids seemed very happy with everything they got.
(Kaylee is in Red, Renee is in Yellow)
They loved the easel we got for Ryan.... so Merry Christmas girls!!
Ryan still absolutely LOVES Buzz Lightyear, and especially this one that spins and lights up!!
He also really loves Lightening McQueen (well anything) from the movie Cars!
The girls enjoyed their presents open or unopened....
and had interesting and clever ways of how to tackle opening them...
The BEST gift of all
Christmas with Joe's Family
Ryan had fun having Grandma come in to town, but she wasn't the only one who came with her.....Santa came too!! And he knew just what Ryan wanted!! See the video below!
And Joe may not admit it but he was happy to see his mom and sister,
Aunt Bethie!
Ryan and Kenzie were like 2 peas in a pod, playing together from morning til night!
They played together, read together, sang and danced together!
2007 Talent Show
Can you say "mini me!"
Grandma and Paw Paw Smith
they couldn't figure out how he got sooooo big so fast!!
(He's 3 months old and clearly bigger than they are at 1year!)
Karen made her 1st big holiday dinner and it actually turned out well!
At least everyone said they liked it and no one died!! :)
Grandma brought with her some of her homemade frosted sugar cookies,(Yummy!!)
which we all loved, but between Ryan and Kenzie eating one every 10 minutes we didn't get very many!
Grandma Joyce modeling Ryan's Rudolph antlers he made at preschool. Isn't she cute?!

Uncle Joe and Aunt Sue stopped in for a visit too
Christmas Eve we acted out the Nativity with Karen's Family at Grandma Kathy's house. Ryan was Joseph, Zoey was Mary, the twins were angels, Abbie was the Star, Kendra was a wise man and Grandma was a shepard, Joe was the narrator, I was the prop coordinator holding up the angels and star at the appropriate time, and Brian was the videographer.

Love the pictures! My favorite one is mini-me! :)
Cant wait until the 25th! Joe, you're ready for me to beat you at Scene It!, right?
Let's see... what can I addict Ryan to next!!! It is sooo fun spoiling our grandbabies. The pics were wonderful. Brought back wonderful memories for me and Paw-Paw, although you could have left out the one of me modeling Rudolph's antlers. I am looking forward to another visit at the end of the month! I am sure you miss me by now. Oh, Joe and Karen, would you like to bring the kids and go out to eat with us at Crackerbarrel? DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SAYING NO!!!!! We love you so much and enjoy being with you and the kids always. Have a wonderful week.
Love to all- Grandma and Paw-Paw Smith
So fun to see all about your christmas festivities! We miss you guys but are soo happy to see you are doing well and having fun! What great pictures!
I have a p.s to add. Karen's Christmas meal was delicious! In fact everything she cooks is delicious. Whew, maybe that will give me a few brownie points! :) Does that make up for the severe neglect you felt over Crackerbarrel? Love you-
Grandma S.
I love the pictures and videos. I can tell which one is Ryan, but I'm having trouble identifying Kaylee and Renee. Maybe I'll just call them KayNay. Jeremy had twin cousins named Terry and Eric when he was little. He couldn't tell them apart so he just called both of them Terric. Lots of love, Jane
