Kelsey's 5th Birthday Party

Today is Kelsey's 5th birthday!!!  This past Saturday we had her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.  Melissa came up with Nathan and Kristen since Shawn had to work :-(.  We had family friends, preschool friends, and church friends.  NanNan and PopPop were there along with Grandma and Grandpa.  Everyone had a wonderful time!!!  

 Kelsey got to go into the Ticket Blaster and invited Nathan to go in with her.  Nathan ended up having the 1,000 ticket fly into his face!  He got lots of good prizes.

Tonga's Back!

 Mark's Uncle Mike and Aunt Lori and their dog Jackie have now relocated back to the United States after living in Tonga for 7 years.  They surprised family in PA over Christmas then made their way south to find their new home in Miami where Mike will be a manager of a new restaurant and Lori can continue to work with her company, Padi.  Thanks guys for stopping by to visit with Jackie!  We can't wait to come visit you in Miami soon!

Happy New Year!!!! Just 19 days late

Okay, so it's a little late, but it's still fun!  Our New Year's Eve was spent with the Florida family and Shereika's.  Florida had a very early flight New Year's Day so what better to do than to stay up late and party, kids and all.  Matthew, Evan, and Owen were in bed by 8, but the girls made it until midnight.  Naps had been taken earlier in the day for Kelsey and Hazel.  

Freeze dance party

 

 The girls dressed up as "waitresses" and served hot chocolate and cookies to everyone.  Hazel was the marshmallow girl.  So cute!!!

 10, 9,8,7,6,5......Happy New Year!

Hail to the Redskins!

The Redskins made it to the playoffs so Evan and I got our gear on and smiled pretty.  I can't say I was smiling at the end of the game, but it was still fun to wear our Redskins gear together.  

Hall Family Christmas

The Replogles came up from North Carolina the Saturday after Christmas until Tuesday.  We got to see them Monday and Tuesday.  The kids got to open presents again and even play with them all.  Enjoy!

 Laser tag with Shawn and Nathan.  

 Nathan and Kelsey were working on invitations to I believe Doggie's birthday party.  That dog is about 57 with all of the birthday parties we have for it.

 Want to swing and it's cold outside?  Just use Uncle Mark to be able to swing.

Even Snowflake got to celebrate as well.  

 It isn't Christmas without matching outfits for the girls.

Probably the best present was Marble Run.  Nathan got it, but we think Evan enjoyed it the most.  Nathan's going to love building and rebuilding with these.  Thanks for sharing Nathan!

More Smith Family Christmas

Lots of smiles this Christmas.  A big hit was the new see-saw for Camp Newburg from NanNan and PopPop for all of the kids.  They enjoyed playing with it in their basement.  It'll be a big hit this summer.

 Kelsey had to leave both chocolate chip and sugar cookies for Santa along with carrots for the reindeer.

 The kids loved their new matching jammies from Aunt Tammie and Uncle Randy.

 That's right Evan, see if Great Uncle Mike's beard is real.  We're thrilled to have him and Aunt Lori back in the states!

Fun craft time in the back deck.
