Christmas Day!

We Wilsons spent Christmas day at Aaron's parent's home. Christmas morning came bright and early as it usually does. We gathered all the kids in an upstairs bedroom, as they each woke up, to sing Christmas songs to wake up Grandma and Grandpa and Morian and Justin. Then we went down stairs and started opening the mountain of presants that spilled from the bottom of the Christmas tree to the front entry way and into the living room.
Collin and Dad enjoyed opening presants "tag team"

Rachel's husband, Brent, spent Christmas in Alaska. So here are the kids wishing him a Merry Christmas over the phone.

Adon loved finding all the treasures in his stocking.

Adon got this moose from Mommy and Daddy. It came with the book "If You Give A Moose A Muffin". He loves to have his moose next to him when he goes to bed because its "so soft".

Fun Pics...

i caught justin over the half wall trying to get a few pics without getting one of his own mug taken. too bad that i was ready with my camera.
tj gets to play his ds if he does pushups and sit ups. its not a little either. i think he is up to 100 of each. what a guy. he was showing off his skills for us and collin wanted to join in. collin only did five or so but it was sure cute.

collin used grandma wilson's apron as a bib on occasions and i couldn't resist to get his picutre.

after a hard morning of opening presants at 530 am, aaron and moriann tried to catch some zzzz's in order to have more fun later.

little gracie loves to play games. she challenged aaron and i to a wacky game of extreme jenga. this is how it ended up. the bottom two layers only have one block on it. aaron is just pointing, not trying to knock it down. it fell the next turn after this picture was taken.

sleeping babies are my favorite. i got out of the shower and realized i couldn't hear collin. this is where i found him. it took him all week to warm up to any one but i'm glad he got some cuddling time from grandma wilson. we love her so much.

adon got these awesome figurines from grandma egbert. i love to catch him playing with his toys like this.

here is mom and collin on our way to pick up auntie rachel and the kids from the airport. it has been great to get to be with them while they are here. they are coming out again for a few days on their way back to alaska.

these are just a few fun pictures i wanted to blog but didn't really have a place to put them. enjoy!

Sledding On Old Main Hill

We finally made it to Old Main Hill. The snow was packed and very slippery from all the sledders.
Collin liked going down the hill with Daddy. He went a couple of times. He also liked it when Lexie pulled him around on the sled

Adon was a good sport and went down once. He still doesn't like to go sledding. He was ready to go home after the first time.

Here is all of us that went sledding. Nana took the picture.

Collin was a real trooper in the snow and his big snow pants. He would fall down and get himself back up with not much trouble. He would pose for every picture I took of him.

Utilizing New Christmas Toys

Uncle Ryan and Auntie Heather gave the boys a bowling game set. Adon loves to bowl. It helps pass the time when the days are short and very cold. Adon bowled a strike his fist time. Collin just stand by and makes sure that all the pins get knocked down.

More Family Pictures

My favorite, my hero, my idol, heeeeeeeeere she is! Rachel!!! Never a dull moment and always fun to have around!
I could add soooo many captions to this picutre but I hope you each will comment and add your own!

We just can't seem to take pictures without having a few silly ones.

Wilson Family Pictures

As human beings we just can't get together without taking pictures; especially family picutres. Its been a while since we have all been together and we were only missing two family members; Brent and Justin we love you guys. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. If anyone wants copies; just ask. If you don't like these, I have more you could choose from.

Adon's Sayings....

Adon loves to explore and figure out new things. All I need to do is give him his "tools" and get out of his way. He always wants to do it himself.

Adon is a big talker now. He will say things that will always make me laugh. The other day he called Auntie Heather "You sly dog." Heather then turned to me. "Did he just call me a sly dog?" Of course he did. Its from the movie, The Incredibles. "You sly dog. You caught me mono-logging.

Aaron was in a rocking chair, reading a book. Adon came up to him and stretched his neck around to see the words. (It didn't really matter that they were up-side-down). He proceeded to read any way. "Once upon a time there was a little fella. And that little fella...." It was so cute.

Adon sometimes talks to himself or will say things to no one in particular. Today I caught him saying "A Nile" over and over again. I was trying to think of where I had heard that before. I figured it out just now. In Finding Nemo, the sharks have a meeting and try to get Marlin to tell his story, and they all say at the same time "Denial" I thought it was funny.
