On the 12th day of Christmas our daddy gave to us-- a trip to the Dr. for our shots!

Today Mike took the entire family into the Dr. to get our China immunizations. NOT FUN!! Mike and the boys only had to get one however, I needed 7. Luckily they only gave me 4 today. This is NOT what the boys and I had asked Santa for. Thanks a bunch Dad.

Grandma's Stockings

My Mom has cross stitched a beautiful stocking for every member of our entire family and with each new addition (in-law or grandchild) comes a new stocking on the fireplace. Most of these stockings take her an entire year to complete because they are very detailed and stitched perfectly.My kids love to see their stocking hanging over grandma's fire place. This is such a fun tradition. You are amazing Mom, love you.

Brotherly love, Trent taking care of Garret when he was sad. What's funny is, Trent is probably the one that made Garret cry.
My little preschool kids. We built a castle for fairy tale week and they loved it.

The Wright Brothers vs. The Smith Brothers

While in Outer Banks for Thanksgiving we visited the Wright Brothers Monument. It was great! This is the place that the Wright Bros practiced their flying and tried out their gliders. This is where the very first man flew. It was really very cool to see this place and we were reminded how amazing it is that we can now fly around in huge airplanes. AMAZING!! It also got us thinking that maybe someday the amazing SMITH BROS and their curiosity will come up with something that will change the world forever.

Thanksgiving in Outer Banks, NC

Our family spent Thanksgiving in Outer Banks, NC with 5 other families from our ward. WE HAD A BLAST!!!! The beach house was huge, the food was great and the company was even better. We spent our time collecting sea shells and horse shoe crab shells down on the beach, sitting in the hot tub and playing games. Thanksgiving dinner was very yummy, our family (AKA me) cooked the turkey. We are so glad that we went and we will not forget our wonderful trip with our wonderful friends.
