Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at Grandma Forsyth's house is always lots of fun! Family, food, games, new pj's and this year boot camp! Andrew started showing Taven how to do sit-ups and push-ups, so of course Jeffrey had to join in and they just kept going. It was funny! Poor kids probably had sore tummies on Christmas morning. It was fun having everyone together. We always love when Heather and her family make the trip from Florida. Rori always plans lots of fun games. Then it's time to go home and get ready for Santa to come. This was our conversation with Jeffrey as we were driving.

Jeffrey: Do I have to sleep in my own bed for Santa to come? Me: Well, you really need to try to stay in your bed tonight. Jeffrey: Why? He still came last year!

Smith Family Game Night

This year, Brian and Leah hosted the annual Smith Family Game Night. We all get together for delicious food and have fun playing a game to determine the winner of the Grand Prize, which Jeff's parents so kindly provide. Every year we try to think of a different game to play. The vote this year was for each couple to complete a 200-piece puzzle. The fastest couple wins! Brian and Leah won! Don't worry, the rest of us don't go home empty-handed. We all get gift cards depending on what place we come in. Jeff and I were 3rd. I really thought we were doing better until they announced they were finished and then Brett and Becca followed shortly after. I don't feel too bad though, Josh and Erin were way behind us...ha ha! Leah also had some fun activities for the kids. They made ornaments and ginger bread houses. We all had a really fun night!

Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread Houses

My sister Rori invited us over to make gingerbread houses last week. The kids had a great time, especially Jeffrey. He made his house into Monster House. Everything is monsters with this kid! They all turned out really cute and we had a lot of fun!

The monster side, see the eyes and mouth with teeth?

And the other side, lined with Christmas lights!

Surprise! It's A...

Baby! That's right, baby #3 is on the way. We had our 18 week ultrasound yesterday. I wanted to find out the baby's gender, Jeff didn't. So, that's what we did! Jeff left the room and has no idea what we are having. It's going to be really hard not to tell people, but if I do then I know Jeff will find out. Ah! He really wants to be surprised. Anyway, that's our exciting news!
