A Smith Christmas!

There's nothing like the classics to make it feel like Christmas.
I forgot how much I loved this movie and what a great message it has!
I think Linus is still my favorite!
New tradition: make homemade Rice Krispie Treats while watching Charlie Brown Christmas.
Happy Birthday Jesus!

This cookbook, given by mama Marsha, inspired not only the red velvet Birthday cake for Jesus,
but also our Christmas morning brunch and dinner!
Santa thought Matthew should work the runway this year!
Christmas morning tradition #563: watch It's a Wonderful Life after opening presents, while eating a ginormous brunch!


The amazing ginormous brunch, guilt-free (didn't you know that calories don't count during the holidays!?), inspired by Southern Living Christmas.
*Not pictured: the lovely and scrumptious coffee cake appetizers (to be served during stocking-opening)
Christmas at the Blair/Maupin household always proves worthy of photographs!
Thanks to Aunt CJ for the matching anti-sweat undershirts. 
Scotch decided to get a little adventurous and fry our turkey this year.
Matt Blair looks a little too subdued for the danger he is embarking upon. 
It was tasty, but a little too built-up to be worth all the fuss (in my humble opinion).
Slightly overrated. However, putting the sweet potato fries in that cooker made all the difference!
It was one of the best Christmases ever!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!


Ready for all the joys and excitement that 2012 shall bring!

I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living.
