Christmas Morning Confetti . . .

Levi's favorite gift

Santa Came!


Naomi's "Wacky Wiggler" was fun for everyone.

Yum!

One of Elora's favorite gifts is her purple moon chair. She also loves her fluffy slippers and the plain black dress she asked for.

Vivian spends lots of time playing with blocks, so Santa brought her an addition to her set. They're hardly ever put away because all the girls build castles so often.

Uncle Bruce and Aunt Kitty sent lots of great stuff, including a craft kit with scissors, sticky foam shapes, feathers, sparkly pipe cleaners, markers, crayons, and much more. The girls were blown away. Thanks Aunt Kitty and Uncle Bruce!

Our Christmas House

Thanks for the gorgeous stockings, Aunt Cristal!

The first gifts of Christmas!

Santa and the Smith kids

Levi wasn't shy and politely studied his gift.

Last year the and the year before Vivian wouldn't even approach
Santa to get her gift. This year she predicted she'd be shy again
but surprised us by serenely climbing up on his lap and staying long enough
to pose for a picture. Wow, Viv! a Christmas transformation!

Naomi's never been shy!

Ellie's getting pretty big for Santa!

The girls pose at the residency family Christmas party.

Naomi loves this hand-me-down dress and jacket
from cousin Kimber. Not pictured are the bouncy balls she asked Santa for
and a fancy-sparkly-dangly-shimmery silver purse as a bonus.

Vivian asked for "a diamond necklace of my own"
and here it is!

Elora and the silver soccer ball she requested

Elora poses after her first school choir concert:
"Christmas at the OK Coral."
Naomi was sick so she and dad had to stay home,
but Vivian and mom enjoyed the show.
