4 Months Old!
Hard to believe that Reagen is now four months old! What a sweet little girl she is!
I had to show off the matching dresses that I made for the girls. It is so much fun having two to sew for!

Wyatt
Averi goes to preschool on Tues/Thurs mornings, so I am home with just Wy and Reagen.
Wyatt has taken an interest in his little sister lately, and he wants to be like his big brothers and hold her all the time. I have to let him do it, or he tries to pick her up all by himself!
Then, after about ten seconds of 'holding' her...he's done and realizes that she just isn't as interesting as his trucks!

Christmas 2009
Steve and I always get the kids pajamas that they get to open on Christmas Eve. So after, I wanted to get a picture of all 5 before they headed to bed. (not as easy as I thought it would be!)
Take 1......oops, forgot Reagen!
Take 2....
Take 3......
Take 4.....anyone wondering why we call him "Wild-Guy?"
Take 5.....
Take 6....ok, I give up!
The children we nestled, all snug in Mom's bed........The kids have made it a tradition to sleep with me on Christmas Eve, which is actually kind of fun because we sing carols and then wait to try and hear the reindeer hoofs on the roof! Low and behold, I don't get much rest that night!
Oh the surprise on their faces in the morning when they see that Santa has come!Wyatt got a new toy garage that goes along perfect with his love of anything that rolls!
There were boardgames......
And watches.....
And luckily there is a Santa to bring the boys their Nintendo DS's that they wanted so badly, cause they know that mom is highly against gaming systems and would never buy them one! (when they wanted a PlayStation, I made them buy it with their own money!)
Averi loved her new ponies and petshops!
And Reagen was just cute and slept through most of the opening of presents!
We played it easy for the day, since it was Steve's first day off in awhile, and enjoyed our Smith Family traditional breakfast that Steve stayed up very late cooking on Christmas Eve after he got home from work. It was a wonderful time, and I found myself disappointed a couple of days later when Steve took down the tree to make space in the living room!

Ethan's 9th Birthday
On December 2oth, Ethan turned nine years old! He looked forward all month long to his birthday.
Matt, Jo, Ben, and Dylan joined us up at Pappa and Grandma's house for the celebration. 
Of course, we started by opening up his presents, because I thought Ethan was going to explode if he had to wait any longer!
And yes, this was the year that I gave in and agreed with Steve to buy him a BB gun that he wanted so bad. He was really surprised, because he knew that I would never buy him one! But, I also got him a NRA gun safety video to go along with it.
Birthday cake.....
And then the crew headed out for a wonderful evening at CALM to see the holiday lights....and of course enjoy the traditional apple dumpling!

Averi's First Dance Recital!
On December 15th we went to Averi's first dance recital at West High School. she has been taking a tap/jazz/ballet class at Dancers Turnout since September.
The biggest hurdle was getting her hair up high on her head with a big green bow, which was the requirement to be in the recital. I ended up looking like a fool, having to also put my hair up high on my head with a big green bow, cause that was the only way Averi would wear her hair that way!
She was so cute, and we were so proud that she actually went in front of a lot of people on stage and did her dance!
She told me afterwards that she was a bit scared, but she was so excited that she did it and that we were so proud of her....and of course that she got a candy cane for performing from Santa!
