SNOW!

Of course the first thing the kids saw when we went to Iowa for Christmas was the snow!! That is all they wanted to do was to go out and play in the snow, in fact within 5 minutes of arriving at the farm they were outside in the snow.

The first couple days there was not much snow to sled on, but luckily the ground was so frozen, that sledding was still possible. They had a blast!

Finally some real snow arrived, it was a lot colder but they didn't care, they had so much fun!

Then Sergio finally figured out how to start the snowmobile and took them for a ride, I think that was their favorite part!

When we got back to FL and it was sunny and low 70's, I told them, "see isn't this better than Iowa where it is cold?" and all three of them responded with a "NO, I like Iowa better!" Crazy Kids!

Christmas 2010!!

Well I know Christmas was well more than a few weeks ago, but after our trip to Iowa along with some sickness I am just getting to posting about it now.

We actually had Christmas in FL a few days before we left for IA. A little different having Christmas when it was warm out but the kids still had a blast. Then on the Dec 22 we made our way to IA to spend Christmas with my side of the family! SInce living in Germany we haven't been to a Smith Christmas in 3 years so this was sorta new for the kids. They kept on telling me that there were lots of people, well yes there were, abotu 50 or so and that is just our immediate family. The kids had a blast especially playing with all their cousins.

Here are some pictures of our "quiet" Christmas in FL. I love Emma's face in the pictures, she is so excited when someone else is opening up their present.
