Christmas time...

our yearly cousin picture. look at us grow. beautiful smialek girls.

23 years christmas morning we take the same photo... well i guess for the first couple of years i would have been in it alone. haha. i love my families christmas traditions, at the smialeks we always celebrate on christmas morning, we eat grandma joan's breakfast casseroles.(one cheese, one bacon, and one sausage. yum!) and on christmas eve we always celebrate with my mother's side the cash's. we play games, have lotteries and raffles its all just a little unusual but always a good time. who doesn't want a ten dollar gas card?
