Christmas

The Smith home is preparing for Christmas! We are planning lots of fun activities and traditions. We are striving to teach Deacon the true meaning of Christmas-despite the secular world we live in. We praise God for sending his son and all that he stood for.

Posing at Mimmie's house-He carried the cross in with a little help from mom and dad at hanging of the greens at church so he was decked out.


We were feeling the Christmas spirit so we gave him a little cereal. I'm not much on cereal but we had some I had bought so we are using it to get him used to texture in his mouth. We will be moving on to the good stuff in the next week.

We do Christmas with the Boone's on several occasions. We have made a tradition of going to see Santa with them and exchanging Dec. 1st gifts. We got the kids matching pajamas to wear when we do our actual Christmas with them and an advent book. They got Deacon the nativity. Mimmie and Poppa got him the wisemen and Aunt Tay got him the inn keeper so we have lots of props for the Christmas story.

They love Deacon and Deacon loves them!

They think Santa rocks!

A little different than last year.

Jackson told Santa Deacon's list

Deacon gets plenty of attention at church. There is always someone wanting to hold him which is a nice break for us. Jimbo put him right to sleep-this holiday season is wearing him out!

He turned 5 months old a couple of weeks ago-we were a little busy!
