Mt Juliet Christmas--December 22, 2009

Merry Christmas in Mt. Juliet!! This year Grammy bought mini nativity scene costumes and everyone got to dress up! No picture was perfect, but they were all precious! Unfortunately in this one it appears that Isaiah the lamb has crawled away!

We try to get to Mt. Juliet early enough so that we can all spend several days together. This year Jonathan, Jack, and I were there five days...and had tons of fun with Jonathan's five brothers and their families!

Here we are celebrating with the extended Davis family....and it was Matthew's turn to read the Christmas Story this year!
Adam, Melanie, Grace Ann, and Isaiah
Gilbert (Poppy) and Jane (Grammy)
Aaron, Johnna, Catherine, Claire, and Amy Kate
Matthew, Melanie, Will, Alex, Sophie, and Abby
Daniel, Christy, Hannah, and Benjamin
Andrew and Ashley
Jonathan and little Jack with his new hat!
Melanie bought a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake and we all celebrated!
We always sing Christmas carols around the piano....just for Grammy!
Then we sing "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" for us! We sing and laugh until we cry!
All the parts are hilarious....especially when the boys harmonize, "SING IT!"

So much fun!!

After the five days together, we headed to Kentucky on Christmas Day!!

Christmas with the Smiths---December 17, 2009

Mmmmm! Christmas at the Smith house always means yummy food! The girls were busy baking Christmas Cookies for their Scout meeting cookie swap!


We ate a yummy dinner....and then we opened presents! This is what Jonathan, Jack and I gave the girls....Nightgowns for Christmas and matching ones for their American Girl Dolls!! :)

A Hard Lesson to Learn---December 11th, 2009

Jack was fascinated with our Christmas Tree! It took several lessons for him to realize that he just could not pull things off of it.....or really even touch it~! He was pretty stubborn...but Daddy and Mommy were even more stubborn.....

Mommy and Daddy won. And the tree stood standing all December long! :)
