Our Family Christmas Card Attempt!

TAKE ONE! o.k. , 2 looking away & 1 silly face, let's try again.

TAKE TWO! o.k. 2 silly faces and one not so interested teenager.

TAKE THREE! Hmmmm, not bad, 1 looking at a plane and 1 looking at a bug passing by.


TAKE FOUR! Pretty good! Everyone is looking deceptively sweet! Baby Mona can look away, she still looks perfect and cute!

This is Britton's manly, disheveled, I'm looking non-chalant pose.

I think he pulls it off very well.



One of our favorite all time pictures of the little boys! How sweet are they looking right now!

Someone must have told them about Santa's naughty and nice list!

Christmas at the Wilson's

December 13th, 2009.
Eddie & Wendy hosted the Wilson Family Christmas Party this year. It was beautiful and so much fun! They have a great big back yard for all of the kids to run around and play while the grownups had fun hanging out with each other and eating of course! That is until it started to rain and we had to bring things indoors for a bit! The weather was just gorgeous though, nice and chilly bringing in the Christmas feeling! We had a great dinner, opened gifts around the fire pit and played with all of our cousins!


Eddie, Wendy, Kathy, Ron ( who apparently was the only one that heard we were supposed to make silly faces!), Mary Sergio, Dorena, Grandma & Grandpa Wilson, Linda, Rob, Jim & Gwen.

It was perfect weather for snuggling! Jim & Gwen

Nolan

I love this kid! You are soft-spoken and hard headed. Endearing yet stubborn. Pragmatic, realistic and no-nonsense. You are so smart and sensible and perceptive you amaze me that you are only three years old! You have such a natural, calm, sweet and snuggily personality and yet you are so stubborn that when you want something you fall to pieces, throw the worlds biggest fit and there is no distracting you! You just love helping me and grandma in the kitchen, stirring, cracking eggs and measuring. Youre focus and attention to detail makes me smile.

You have the sweetest little voice and these are a few of my favorite Nolan quotes;

" Mommy, I love you every time."

"Mommy, do you love me every time?"

" Just don't worry about it mommy."

"Your making me nervous!" (your all time favorite quote)

"I'm just hungry every time!"

" I'm so hungry that even my toes are hungry!"

"Jack, you driving me crazy!"

" I'm not your best friend anymore!!!" directed at Jack of course

"I'm not talking to baby Mona cuz babies can't talk mommy."

mommy " Hi mister monkey/teddy bear/etc. Nolan " It's just a toy mommy, toys don't talk.

" I just going crazy!" or " Ughhhh, that's it, I give up!" *hands held upright, eyes rolled in exasperation.

"You hurt my feelers."

"Daddy, I want to hold you!"

I love you sweet pea!
