Blake and Shyann all dressed up

Shyann looking gorgeous with her christmas dress on... I think she got into the chocolate right before these pictures were taken... lol... she's still beautiful though
Blake, refusing to get up and show me his handsome little outfit. He was much more interested in watching the movie on tv.
Shyann, hamming it up in front of the Christmas tree. Blake would not smile for the life of him.

Christmas at our house

We did Christmas on Chirstmas eve this year because Zack was going to be with his Dad on Christmas day.

Rozzie and Jayden opening presents with Mom and "Dad" (Jessie's fiance)

Zack checking out his new digital camera
Jayden was very excited about his new moving dinosaur
Zack couldn't wait to get his new spiderman comforter out of the bag.
Lagger with his new chew toys. He was very indignant about anyone trying to touch his toys.

Baking with Jayden

Jayden got to stay up late with me to bake goodies for my coworkers. He was a great helper. He stirred the batter for the cookies

Look at those great cookie dough balls

When Jessie (Jayden's mom) got home she came and helped us fill these shape molds to bake star shaped brownies.

Jayden's favorite part of the whole adventure.... licking the spoon covered with chocolate brownie dough.

This is his triumphant pose after licking the spoon clean... I think that it got something else dirty though... I wonder what it could have been.

Our Breakfast (with) Tiffany

This is my cousin Tiffany. She got to come visit us here in Oregon for Christmas this year. She was very excited to be able to hold baby Eli

A close up on Eliana, couldn't resist you know!!

I snagged Janessa for a quick photo opportunity... don't get these chances very often with how busy I am between jobs and school.... and everything else... blah...blah...blah

Eliana is here

Eliana Rose Smith

Born December 3rd, 2007

My baby neice

The first time I got to hold her, she was one day old

Look at those beautiful eyes!

Janessa Lee Smith

Eliana's older sister, looking very indignent about not being the baby any more. She kept telling me to put Eli down and come play with her in her room. Which of course I eventually did, after holding the baby for a while. Couldn't just put the little cutie down right away.
