Darlene's Party

Many of the Smiths gathered in Sioux Falls on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Darlene's 75th birthday at Spezios, a new Italian restaurant.  Jim, Darlene, Tim, Deb, Tyler, Mike, Jimmer, Jamie, Sam, Ted, Pam, Jen, Courtney, Kelsey, Dan and I all enjoyed a great meal and coffee and ice cream afterwards at Tim & Deb's house.  The temperature in Sioux Falls was in the 50's so we loved that.  Pam and I took a nice little walk- the kids too but they were running and at least a block ahead of us.

Thanks Tim, Deb and Jen for organizing a lovely afternoon!

Jen & girls...

and the other end of the table.  I'm so bummed that this turned out blurry-it would have been a great photo.  I was very low on batteries so I couldn't take many photo's.  Oh well, you get the idea!   

Today we are enjoying all the sunshine pouring in our south windows.  Greg, Melissa, Hannah and Axel are coming later this afternoon for the Super Bowl.  We're having appetizers and chili.

 Since it's February, we decided the Christmas tree should come down.  We usually keep it up through January since the lights are pretty/cheery in the long winter nights.  

Happy Super Bowl Sunday....I have to admit I barely know who's playing!!  There's always the commercials. :)
