Cars, Cars, and more Cars......

The Merry Go Round.....

A Valley Tradition.......

Christmas Angels.....

Sisterly Love.....

Maddy and Santa......

All three angels....this was harder than it looks....note the watery eyes on Maddy. Pictures are getting more difficult to take but boy do we treasure the shots we get. These were taken before church today......What a blessing these angels are to us!!!!

Mommy's Helpers......

I don't know if there has ever been a little girl that loves to help mommy as much as Maddy......however, she can get a bit distracted......

When buttering the rolls for dinner......she decided to take a bite, and another bite, and another bite.......um, Maddy....that isn't cookie icing sweetheart!!!!

Such my little helper! :)

Trip to see Santa.....

So....what do you do on the Saturday before Christmas....the rainy, cold, windy Saturday before Christmas. The busy shopping day when everybody decides to dash out and grab those last minute gifts......well, we decided to jump in feet first. At the last minute we grabbed our shoes and headed to Columbus for some adventure.

First stop....haircuts. We thought it might be helpful to try a new place with cool chairs and kid friendly decor....nope...Thomas still screamed as usual!
Both Thomas and Maddy loved the cars when not getting their hair cut!

Then it was lunch.....Oh Chickfila....how we love thee! It has been forever since I've been in a mall food court......actually I think it was this time last year......we just don't get to the mall very often :0

Here is Maddy...patiently waiting for her cookie!

And then there was Santa......they were ready....they knew what they were going to say....we practiced and everything....only to have Thomas and Maddy run! Morgan could have stayed all day I think....but needless to say, we had to go!

All in all it was a great family day together.....a day I would not trade for anything!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

War Eagle Baby!!!!

Maddy's First Haircut

Thank you Mrs. Amanda.....

Big Gloves to Fill.....

Thomas is always ready to help his daddy!!!!!

New Member....

Here he is.....we have a new addition to the Smith Plantation!!!!! Boone is our 4-legged, 4 year old , black lab mix!!! Friends from church are moving and needed a good home for this little love bug (all 80 lbs worth) and we were happy to oblige!!!! He is totally kid friendly, gentle, loving, and has the sweetest disposition! He loves constant affection and attention and we are ready to give it! Tucker is even adapting well....what a blessing Boone is to our home!!!! I guess I need to make the URL thesmithsplusfive...or maybe 6 if you count the rooster.....
