Twas' the Night Before Christmas...........

Connor is writing a note to Santa, it reads; "Santa, Connor. Remember the Car Ramp. Dad dont eat the cookies." Connor wrote what is in red and Mommy wrote the rest.

Connor sprinkled a mix on the sidewalk; glitter for the reindeer to see where to go and oatmeal to nibble on. He left Santa a rootbeer and cookies.





Connor winks with approval as he is ready for Santa and then climbs into bed with Grandma Roberts to read "The Night Before Christmas" and snuggles in with Mommy to read "The Polar Express."



Olivia didn't participate in this activity, she crashed the minute we got back to Great Grandma Donna's house.

An Amazing Christmas #4!

Olivia was quite the act Christmas eve. ..........

Christmas Eve, we went to Mass at 4pm and then celebrated Christmas with the Schnieder's.

We always love the Christmas Eve appetizers. This year Great Aunt Bess hosted the party. Connor fell in love with the pool table in the basement and the cue that was "just my size!"

Connor played pool with his Birthday Buddy; Bret
(that's a unique hold on the cue....maybe that's how Connor beat him "64-20")





Birthday Buddies!
Connor and Bret share the same Birthday.

Wilson Christmas in action!






On December 24th, we journeyed to Moline, IL to stay the night with Great Grandma Donna. The Saturday before, there was quite a storm that hit the state....on our way to Moline, we counted 88 cars in the ditches! I think there were more but they were being towed that day of our travel. I just hope that everyone was safe getting out of those cars............

An Amazing Christmas #2!

We celebrated Our Christmas on Sunday, December 23rd. Again, we heard Connor state that everything was "Amazing!" and he couldn't wait to open up his spiderman presents.

Uno Attack!
