christmas weekend
on thursday nite we left the babies at home and went to bellevue for shopping, dinner and a movie.
waiting to go in to the theater.
obnoxiously saving seats. and by seats i mean the entire theater. apparently we invited the redmond stake.
we started the christmas eve celebrations over at craig's uncle's house. after dinner, we played a rousing game of white elephant.
tagg loved white elephant. especially the part when he got to steal a present. quite the delinquent.
then came the legitimate presents. grandpa rod and grandma cheri gave tagg a hex bug habitat. he was in heaven. and even allowed us to pet his hex bugs.
sully got the elmo guitar he had been waiting for. he loved it! except now i cant get the "elmo's world" theme song out of my head.
right as we were leaving we decided to gather all the smith men up to take a picture........ i reaaaaaallly need a girl! :)
on our way home from the smith's we stopped by outback to say hello to my family. the restaurant was packed (who would have guessed?). they were going to be waiting for a long time to even get a table, so we just took some pictures and headed home.
craig and i laughed so hard when we saw my mom and megan walk in together. dressing like twinners at that age?!
anna and rachel.
my mom and me.
my mom and sully.
my mom, dad and sully.
tucker, taylor and me. told you we took a lot of pictures.
finally! christmas morning. tagg was so excited to see what santa had brought him. he was so cute opening his gifts.
we finally woke sully up at about 10.15 (he's going through a major growth spurt!) to open his presents before we had to go to church. his favorite present of all was his electric toothbrush. he's his daddy's boy!
after church, we went over to my parents' house to opening up a few more gifts. my mom surprised tagg and tucker with matching circle quilts! they are so beautiful and cozy.
that nite, we had a nativity. taylor and eli made a hilarious shepherd and sheep. and tucker creeped us out with his touchy-feely interpretation of joseph.
tagg was the cutest wiseman i have ever seen. and anna recited the entire angel part by memory. over-achiever much?
it was a very sweet nativity.
we had a wonderful christmas season with family and friends and cant wait for the new year to begin!
