Christmas Day is finally here! December 25, 2015

The day had finally come!

Even though these cute kiddos got the bulk of their Christmas by going to Disney Land, Santa still brought a few gifts for under the tree.

The Stockings were hung!

 And Santa has finally arrived!

 I had to work so we kept the kiddo's up late and when I got off at 9:30 am we open presents!

 We went on a little drive to see the lights and when we came back we got into our Christmas pj's (they got them at disneyland) and drank hot cocoa while dad read from the bible.

The kiddos all went to the dollar store to choose presents for each other and they finally got to open them. 

Dec. 23, 2015- Smith Family Christmas Party

Christmas Sing at Westmore Elementary.

These cute kiddos all got up and did a great job singing and remembering their songs!

 I am so proud of Calvin.  This shy little guy got up and sang some of the words and even did the actions!

Dec. 7-12th- California, Disney Land and the beach!

Way back in March we planned a trip to Disney Land.  It was really hard to not tell the kiddo's what was happening but worth it.  We left the afternoon of the 7th to the airport.   We told the kids we had decided to visit a relative.  They were super excited to fly somewhere and miss school.

Here they are waiting for the plane.

By the time we had arrived many many people asked if they were going to disney land and at the car rental office we finally told them what was going on.  They were super excited.  We took many pictures, just because it was so much fun!!!

 Sidney- After a long fun day on her feet.

 Poor Sidney didn't like this ride and is sobbing.

 After 3 fun but long days in Disney Land we slept in on Friday morning and then headed the Aquarium of the Pacific

It was a cold day.  Not a lot going on outside but still lots of fun.

Before we went to the airport we decided to head to the beach.

We went to Huntington Beach.  It was cold and due the storm the waives were larger than normal but it was still fun to play in the sand and water.
