Smith Christmas Breakfast

The Smith Christmas Breakfast was held this year at the Marshall Baptist Church on Dec 18th.
We had a great time catching up with everyone! We delivered the books written by Uncle Gerald "Colonel" that were ordered at the Smith Reunion. He took the time to personally autograph them and get pics taken with everyone. I highly recommend the book. It is a great way to learn more about the family. Read it with you children it is great fun!!!
