One More Christmas Blog

Last month Kali had her pictures taken, and the only way I could get her to sit still and smile, was to bring in a little girl from the waiting room. She stood right next to the photographer and Kali smiled away at her.

Last month we had our family pictures taken (thank you Casey) and while there were tons that we loved, here are a few favorites:

Christmas Happenings

The following are pictures of one wild and crazy night at the Smith house. We had all the Petersen sibs over for some yummy food, games, a gift exchange, and some holiday cheer.

Aaron decorated our shirts with puffy paints and bedazzle jewels

Mr. Grad Man

You are looking at the face of the newest graduate from California State University, Fullerton. Yes, that is right... this week Aaron completed his bachelors degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Cardiac Therapy. I'm so proud of Aaron and all the hard work that he put forth to graduate while working to support us.
Congratulations baby!!
