Merry Christmas 2016 from the Smith Family

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
LOVE FROM THE SMITH FAMILY

I LOVE how my Christmas card turned out this year and I just wanted to share it with all of you! It is a tri-fold card, so the digital version doesn’t quite show how fun it is, but I love it!

Thank you to Cheapshot Photography for taking our photos this year and to Pro Digital for the printing of my cards!

J.J. is 14 and is in 9th Grade at Spectrum Academy. He is so excited to be in high school this year and has loved participating in the Occupational Track, where he has been able to experience lots of different career options and go on lots of field trips. J.J. is always at his happiest when he is watching movies and playing on his tablet!

Beth is 11, in 6th Grade, and her last year at Spring Creek Elementary. She still excels in reading and is learning to be a leader. She loves music and sings in her school choir, plays violin in the school orchestra, and does theater (they will be performing Beauty and the Beast this Spring). She is happiest when she is hanging out with friends, reading, or doing some kind of craft!

Joey always stays busy with work. Work has been extra crazy for him this year and for the first time in his life, he understands the appeal of retiring (though it is very doubtful that he will for many many many more years). He is always helping family and friends with their computers. In his rare spare time, he enjoys being with his family, reading, listening to music and audiobooks, and playing video games.

DeDe is still loving serving in the Primary presidency in our ward. She loves to use her talents to create for the Primary, the Ward, the Schools, and sometimes even her family and friends (and occasionally maybe even for herself). She loves movies/tv shows, reading, creating, and procrastinating the housework.

Our family’s highlight of the year was our camping trip to Wyoming this summer. We loved visiting Yellowstone National Park, going river rafting down the Snake River, visiting church history sites, and visiting Joey’s small hometown and sharing his childhood memories. Another highlight was when DeDe got to join Joey on his business trip to California and they got to go out to Alcatraz Island!

 

 

Here’s to Christmas…

A Time of Giving & Believing

A Time of Loving & Remembering

A Time of Gratitude

A Time of Magic & Peace

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas from The Smith Family

Christmas Card 2015
I have sent out Christmas cards every year for 16 years, 
but this year I just didn’t get it done. So I am doing
a digital-only version this year!
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS 
FROM THE SMITH FAMILY

J.J. is 13 and is in 8th Grade at Spectrum Academy. This school has been heaven-sent for J.J. and his parents and has helped us get through having a teenager with autism. J.J. loves Star Wars, Phineas and Ferb, and Minecraft. He is happiest when he is watching movies and playing on his tablet.
 
Beth is 10 and in 5th grade at Spring Creek Elementary. She loves school, being with her friends, and excels in reading. She sings in her school choir, is learning to play the violin, and is in a theater group (they will be performing Aladdin in April). She is happiest when she is reading a book, listening to music and singing, or doing some kind of craft!
 
Joey always stays busy with work (and teaching in Elders Quorum). He has done quite a bit of traveling this year to places like Nashville, Las Vegas, and New York. In his spare time (which is not much at all), he enjoys being with his family, reading or listening to music and audiobooks, and playing Guild Wars 2. 
 
DeDe has stepped back a lot in her blogging and designing digital scrapbook products this year, but is hoping to get back to her creative side in 2016. She loves her calling in the Primary presidency (except for the actual teaching Sharing time part). She loves the kids and being able to use her talents to create wonderful things for the Primary, the Ward, the Schools and sometimes even her family and friends! In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching movies, creating (especially with her new Silhouette Cameo), selling books for Usborne Books & Jewelry for Origami Owl, and procrastinating housework.
 
 
Our family’s highlight of the year was visiting Disneyland a few weeks ago. We have a love of Disney in our household and we really enjoyed taking my brother and his family with us this year. We really enjoy the Christmas Season at Disneyland and it was so fun to be able to participate in Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary as well. As a family, our favorite thing to do is watch movies together (with popcorn).
 
Our Family wishes you all a VERY VERY VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a joyful HOLIDAY SEASON! We hope each one of you feels the REASON FOR THE SEASON and the true magic and spirit of Christmas! We hope you have lots of family time and that your season is the best ever!
 
Love you all!
