It's official......

(Sorry this photo is so small- I took it off of Kaylie's facebook!)


Paul has been called to serve as the mission president of the California Riverside mission. Karen tells me that it is 38 miles from Disneyland, though it is in a different mission. Palm Springs is part of their mission and the Redlands temple is also part of it. This part of California is very lucky to be gaining such a great family! Godspeed Smart family!

It would appear that Vivian wins the guessing contest with her guess of Anaheim, California. Allison and Tessie both guessed cities in California, but Vivian's guess was closest!

Jenna Thomas' baptism

Jenna was baptized by her grandfather, Don Voorhees, on Sat. Feb. 5, 2011. Congratulations Jenna! We love you!

Happy New Year!

Just getting around to posting pictures from our awesome New Year's Eve party put on by Kristi and Jason, but held at Tom and Jenni's since it is a little more central to where the family lives. It was a fun time! Everyone had fun doing "Just Dance" on the wii. Happy 2011!
