A Smith-Family Tradition

After the kids mail their letters to Santa, we always stop at the South Bend Chocolate Company & enjoy a very large, decorated hot chocolate.   Then we pet the real reindeer that they put on display on Monument Circle! 




Having a 'BEARY' good time!


Both of the girls requested a "real puppy" on their wish lists to Santa!

Olivia was able to write her own letter for the first time this year!  She insisted on carrying it herself too!

Every year, we help the kids write their letters to Santa & take them downtown to mail them!

We enjoy the 'tree of lights' on display on the Soldiers & Sailors Monument on the circle in Indianapolis!  Each year a cherub is perched on top of a clock on the corner of Meridian Street & Georgia Street.




This year we kicked off the Christmas season by enjoying some 'Cookies with Santa" at our church.



I love looking at our tree with all of the decorations that Olivia & Nora have made!
