Smith Family Christmas, Part 1

Yesterday we celebrated our extended family Christmas. As always, it was just a great, great day. We were missing four of our group – Jenny, who had to work; Lesley and Liz, who are both on the west coast; and Jade. One tradition of our day is taking various group pictures with Granny. Different families, different generations, that sort of thing. Here are Lindee & Jackson, Mallory, and Clara, having their turn. img_20161126_112722

And Gran with her grandchildren:  front row are Josh, Nathan, Gran, and Amber.  Back row are Cooper, Olivia, Greg, Elise, Addie, Lindee, Andrew, and Little Hopeimg_20161126_114412

We also celebrated with a shower for Cooper and Rachel, who will be getting married in April.  Here they are starting to open their gifts.  Don’t they look so happy?img_20161126_121507
