Christmas in our new home!

I just can't resist these eyes...
Yes, we are the awful parents who gave our son (the Steelers fan) something with a Steelers emblem.  I found it humorous that he happened to be wearing a Ravens jersey!!!
I have 3 handsome boys!!!
Celebrating at Nana and Papa Joe's!
I love Sean's response to the monkey from Nonna!
Poor Sean was sick and sleeping on Christmas Eve morning...
Josh is trying to tell Sean that he's got something "right there"...
 
My picturesque first Christmas in our new home - real tree, fire in the fireplace and 4 little kids stockings hanging on the mantle :)

Twas the year of giving pictures for the Smith's!

How many kids get excited about new shoes???
Christine got 4 new Adventure in Odyssey cd's this Christmas - and she's loving them!

Surprise Andy!  A new chain saw to cut down a few trees in our yard.  (Did you see our 78 bags of leaves this fall???)
It is Christ's birth that we celebrate each Christmas.  We give gifts to each other, and to our children, because God, our Heavenly Father, gave us the most perfect gift in Christ Jesus!!!

Let the holidays begin...


Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and all through the house...

The chefs.  Chef 1 and Chef 2.  We were like a reality TV show referring to each other as Chef all day.  Twas fun!
Please notice the potato she's peeling is already peeled.  She really wanted in on our Chef clan. :)


That's our first round of leaves in Jersey - 66 bags...  We will update you on our final bag count!
