Merry Christmas from The Smith Family


I have sent out Christmas cards every year for 16 years, 
but this year I just didn't get it done. So I am doing
a digital-only version this year!



MERRY CHRISTMAS 
FROM THE SMITH FAMILY


J.J. is 13 and is in 8th Grade at Spectrum Academy. This school has been heaven-sent for J.J. and his parents and has helped us get through having a teenager with autism. J.J. loves Star Wars, Phineas and Ferb, and Minecraft. He is happiest when he is watching movies and playing on his tablet.

Beth is 10 and in 5th grade at Spring Creek Elementary. She loves school, being with her friends, and excels in reading. She sings in her school choir, is learning to play the violin, and is in a theater group (they will be performing Aladdin in April). She is happiest when she is reading a book, listening to music and singing, or doing some kind of craft!

Joey always stays busy with work (and teaching in Elders Quorum). He has done quite a bit of traveling this year to places like Nashville, Las Vegas, and New York. In his spare time (which is not much at all), he enjoys being with his family, reading or listening to music and audiobooks, and playing Guild Wars 2. 

DeDe has stepped back a lot in her blogging and designing digital scrapbook products this year, but is hoping to get back to her creative side in 2016. She loves her calling in the Primary presidency (except for the actual teaching Sharing time part). She loves the kids and being able to use her talents to create wonderful things for the Primary, the Ward, the Schools and sometimes even her family and friends! In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching movies, creating (especially with her new Silhouette Cameo), selling books for Usborne Books & Jewelry for Origami Owl, and procrastinating housework.


Our family's highlight of the year was visiting Disneyland a few weeks ago. We have a love of Disney in our household and we really enjoyed taking my brother and his family with us this year. We really enjoy the Christmas Season at Disneyland and it was so fun to be able to participate in Disneyland's 60th Anniversary as well. As a family, our favorite thing to do is watch movies together (with popcorn).


Our Family wishes you all a VERY VERY VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a joyful HOLIDAY SEASON! We hope each one of you feels the REASON FOR THE SEASON and the true magic and spirit of Christmas! We hope you have lots of family time and that your season is the best ever!

Love you all!

FREEBIE | 2016 Primary Theme Posters

2016 PRIMARY
I Know the Scriptures Are True

So if you are LDS and happen to be in a Primary Presidency, 
I have a freebie for you today. 

I AM a part of my ward's Primary Presidency (specifically the second counselor), and I'm so excited about these posters that I created for the upcoming new year! I loved the posters that I created last year, but I love these even more. I'm so excited about how they turned out.

If you are in the Primary, you know that each month we have monthly themes that go along with the yearly theme, plus monthly scriptures. Many wards, including my own, like to display posters with the month's theme on it!

We wanted the kids to really delve into the scriptures this year and this is the perfect way to introduce the scriptures to the children. When they look at the posters, they can see what actual pages of the  scriptures look like and they can see and read the month's scriptures. It is making me excited to re-read the Book of Mormon this year and hopefully be able to share the great stories with the kids!

I have 2 versions for you. We love the big 16x20 posters but I also have 8x10 posters if that is easier for your Primary room! We actually use the big posters in our Primary room and the smaller posters on a bulletin board in the foyer of our church! The files are large because of the high quality jpg files! 

 I really hope you can use them! 
I would really love to hear what you think!
