Where Life Is Always an Adventure
Once the tree was covered(mostly the bottom half) the youngest in the family was lifted up to place the Angel Moroni tree topper on the tip of the tree. 
Aubrey was a little worried dad would drop her, but loved putting the angel on the tree. 
Finally the tree is complete.
A lot has happened since then and time just seems to zoom by so quickly. Aubrey is a blessing and a joy to have in our family. She is smart. Too smart for her own good sometimes. She is my little sidekick. We do everything together while her sisters are a school. She is loving, sweet, best friends with both her sisters, and my calmer one. I didn't say calm she can hold her own with her sisters and often get loud ans stubborn, but over all she has a calm side to her. Aubrey is a character and says the funniest things. She has the best facial expressions ever. She is always making a face good or bad. 
Aubrey loves crafts, music and dancing. 
It will be fun to see her blossom and grow this next year. 
Happy 3rd Birhday Aubrey!
It was wonderful and Noah and I were able to feel the spirit very strongly. All of his cousin participated by singing 2 songs only Ashlyn and Autumn wanted to go up and sing with everyone, while Aubrey sat with me. 
After the baptism we had a luncheon at the church and Davis opened up his baptism gifts. 
We are so glad that we could attend such a special event for Davis.
the big girls hide from all of us behind the stage, 
the boys and later the little girls ran around the gym to play
and once the PlayStation Rockband got hooked up we all had a blast playing it, even the big kids. 
After playing and eating dinner it was present and cake time. Aubrey got Tinker Bell P.J.s, Yo Gabba Gabba puzzle, Dora stamps, 2 long sleeve shirts, Tinker Bell pillow book, Tinker Bell barbie, tinker bell coloring book, some books, jeans, and a new princess bike.
We had 3 cakes and 3 cupcakes for the 3 birthday kids. Aubrey turns 3 tomorrow,
Tristan 13 in a few weeks, 
and Art had a birthday already and you gotta guess his age. 
Aubrey loved her cupcake and got a little slice of each cake. She loves cake and her the party.
It was fun to celebrate it with family.
We stopped at Indian Rock Tree Farm one of our favorite places to pick out a tree. They cut them fresh, which comes in handy when it is pouring rain(like it was this morning). The 1st one Noah grabbed looked great. We looked at a couple of others before I said "lets just get the one we saw first." It took us 15 min. to get our tree. I think that is the fastest we have ever picked out a tree. That gave us plenty of time to go get apples, eat lunch, buy apple donuts and fritters, and drink some yummy hot chocolate.
We had a nice relaxing time enjoying Applehill together as a family.
We try our best, but you get what you get. Here are the photos from this years Smith family photo shoot. 
In the end I they came out pretty good.
