Farewell Aryanna

Mackenzie was so sad to say good bye to Aryanna Hansen who moved to San Diego after 5th grade was over. We threw a going away party and the girls spent as much time together as possible.

Another Year of Sparta

Mackenzie had a great year with Sparta. They rolled with the mid season coaching change and Kenzie settled very nicely into her keeper roll.

Mom: Do you want white or wheat
Char: Which one is healthier?
Mom: Wheat

The Big 4

To celebrate Jeffrey's birthday we went to Jungle Jim's with all "the sisters" (as he calls them) and Jake Larson.

Christmas 2016

Our Christmas had multiple personalities this year! First was our snowy white Christmas at home. Then our beautiful warm Hawaiian Christmas celebration.

We had our fondue dinner on Christmas Eve this year. And the kids organized a talent show.  Jeffrey's talent was a magic show (assisted by Mackenzie), Brooklyn told some jokes, Charlotte did cartwheels all the way down the hall, and mackenzie did a dance and played the piano. Campout in the loft is a favorite.

The Smiths all stayed at the Grand Wailea. We had the best time going to the beach and pool every single day. Throw in going out to eat and we had the perfect vacation.

Brooklyn turns 9

Brooklyn celebrated her birthday at the Baking Hive.  They mixed, baked, and decorated beautiful cakes with butterbeer frosting.
