Family of Four

Tasha took some photos of our family for us

and I thought I would share a few, or a lot of them.

Tasha, thanks for capturing all the happiness and the kisses!

Hoiliday Soiree 2010

This year was our third annual Smith Holiday Soiree and it was a real hit.

On the menu were mini sirloin burgers grilled to perfection, with tons of fixins to choose from.

Some of this year's party highlights included : ugly Christmas shirt contest, Oreo challenge from Minute to Win It, a custom-made game of Family Feud with questions about our family and Christmas, a white elephant gift exchange, and a drunk driving incident. Yes, that is what I said.

Here is Aaron manning the grillAnd me showcasing my dinner
Kai's car, which he just purchased 5 days prior, was parked out front of our apartment and a drunk driver slammed into it! We heard what sounded like an explosion and ran outside to find the driver start to drive away. My brothers and Aaron chased him down, in their holiday socks and reindeer antlers, and caught him before the police arrived. He was arrested for driving under the influence but not charged with a hit and run. The police didn't think the situation qualified for a hit and run since he never actually got away. He would have though if it weren't for the 6 holiday men hunting him down though!
The damage doesn't really show up in the photos, but it was pretty bad. He even hit the car so hard that it threw it up on to the curb, and pieces of the siding were strewn up and down the street.

Way to put a real damper on the night

We're just glad that no one got hurt, including the two little kids in the drunk driver's mini van!

Regardless we had a great night as you can see..

Silly head

Warning: this is really funny.

The past few nights Kali has been having trouble sleeping and has fallen asleep at the foot of her bedroom door, where she could see under the door crack. This is a pic of her face pressed up against the crack, completely passed out. Its difficult to open the door to move her when she is blocking it with her dead weight!

It's Not Just a Pony Tail

Her hair is finally long enough to pull back in a pony tail. But it's not just a pony tail to me, the mommy. It means that her hair is growing, and it's going to keep growing, and that she is getting bigger and bigger, and she isn't my little baby anymore. = (

Spongebob, TeddyBear, and Pumpkins

This year we kicked off the Halloween celebrations with a little pony/train ride at an awesome pumpkin patch. Kali busted out her equestrian skills on her mini pony
and we loved the little train ride through the park

and afterwards we dressed up and went to the Halloween party at church. That's about as wild as we get these days.
