Where I come from...

This is a cause for traffic. "Traffic" meaning three or four cars waiting to pass a slow-moving tractor - and it is quite possible that you would know/be related to the driver.

This, however, is what I did this morning. It really might just give me ulcers. I hate big roads. I hate big roads with lots of cars. And I hate not knowing where in the h*** I am going.

Thank goodness I could rely on my ChrisChris (yup, husband is my GPS - good thing he wasn't in a meeting.)

So, when you see that slow moving "what in the heck are they doing" car - it's probably me. Be nice.

LOTS of Christmas fun

Grandma Grace and Papa Bruce

Eli learned the hard way - don't touch the red box that says "Fire Alarm."
Ready to play in the snow with Rae and Macie

That was FUN!

The kids all got Batman and Superman capes from GG.

Santa didn't finish his cookie and Tate couldn't wait until breakfast. Perfect!

Santa delivered! Woody and Buzz!

Sledding with Mack and Trixie

Aunt Maggie and Uncle Troy riding horses.

So - for 6 months Eli has been begging to ride a sheep since he watched Mack do it at the rodeo.

First of all, we got a DUD sheep. It wouldn't even stand up.

And then - he chickened out and cried. But we were not leaving without a picture!

More fun sledding with dad.

Tate isn't in many pictures because he rarely went outside. But he did learn to go down the stairs and that is ALL he wanted to do.

Me and my momma! I'm becoming more like her every day. :)

A ride in Papa's truck - so cool!

Eli got to meet Santa for the first time. He was pumped. Tate could care less.

Doing chores with Papa every day, morning and night. One of his favorite activities. No fear - the Lone Ranger (s) are here!
Good Times!

Gang's all here....

Smith Grandkids....plus # 10 on the way (Pam & Taylor)
Smith Clan
1+1=2+2+2=6 plus more =19 :)

The original Smith gang

Family.

I'm still learning....

We set out for a date night. Dinner down-town and then on to a Mavs game. This night I learned:

****

a. big city restaurants close early on weekdays

b. bars are still open

c. bar food is delicious!

d. people pay way too much for entertainment

****

Give me a break - I'm a farm girl. I'm still learning about this big city stuff.

(Christmas pictures will come. It's on the list of things to do....)
