December and part of January for the Smith Family

December was pretty crazy for us, with moving and all. We tried to have a normal Christmas, but it did seem rushed. We had nice visits with both Brandon's family and my family, and we were given so many nice gifts. We appreciate everything everyone does for us! When we visited the Howells we had our family pictures taken, and that last post was a joke about it, if you couldn't tell. ;)

Aubrey is turning 12 tomorrow! We are very excited for her, but feeling a little old. She is so excited to be in Young Womens! She's been wanting to go to Young Womens for, oh, about 6 years now. She had a birthday party last night. We let our kids have a party with friends when they turn 8 and when they turn 12. That's enough!! She had some really nice girls over, and they ate pizza and had cupcakes and popcorn and watched a movie and did their nails... all that girly stuff. We had them all home before midnight... we do "late nights" instead of sleepovers. The picture is of Aubrey and her friend Savannah at her birthday party.

Tyler and Cooper built a fun little igloo in our back yard. We had to force them to go play outside, but once they were there, they had fun. It's so cold here!!

We enjoyed reading the newsletter. It's nice to know what is going on with everyone's lives.

Love, Brandon, Mindy, Aubrey, Tyler, and Cooper

Sounds like Aubrey had a fun birthday. :-) And I, too, like reading the newsletter to see what's happening in others' lives. I will hopefully be updating my blog more often as I get used to it better, and any of you can add me to your list (jeffandvickihoggard.blogspot.com). :-)
