New Years Eve- PARTY

We had such a fun New Years Eve.  We had some of our friends and their kids come over.  We watched movies, played the Wii, had toys everywhere from all the kids enjoying themselves, ate lots of yummy food, drank sparkling cider, got a new years kiss, and had a great time.  I can not believe all my kids (well, not Rylee) made it till midnight.  They were all exhausted but thought it was awesome they got to stay awake until midnight.  

Me and two of my girls! 

 You would have thought it was Halloween with all the kids in dress up clothes!  Too cute!
 Bri Bri and Rozy got to come play and have a sleep over too.  They made it to midnight as well.
 Me and my Bailey Boo Boo and our sparkling cider.
 My man.  What a silly guy he is.
 J.J. and his sparkling cider.
 Love birds.

 Ha Ha,  she was so tired.  She looks like she has had too much to drink.

 We were a little loud bringing in the new year! Addi was not too sure about it.
 We had a great night with our friends and family.  Cant wait to see what 2014 brings.

It is crazy to me how big Rylee is getting.  Just two sisters and their babies, playing.  So glad my girls have sisters to be best friends with.  

 Just playing her little heart out.

 Cutest little thing.

Christmas afternoon 2013 Wilson Christmas Party

I do not know why Santa even comes to our house!  These little kids get spoiled to pieces by Mimi and Papa.  It is so fun and chaotic with all the Wilson cousins.  We go around in a circle and open presents one at a time to see what everyone got.  From then on it is just a huge party and mess while all the kids play with all their new toys. More lips stuff for Addi.



 Just waking up from her nap.  She missed opening presents again!  Good thing she has no idea what is going on or she would be feeling left out.

 Mimi and papa made an amazing meal.  We all enjoyed it and ate way too much.



I did not get any pictures of the adults opening their presents.  We played charades, pictionary and had to sing whatever Christmas song we got in order to earn our present.  It was a blast.  We then ended the night with some action on the Wii.  With a bowling tournament.  It was a great day. Surrounded by loved ones.

Christmas Morning 2013

J.J.'s presents from Santa!
 Bailey and Addi's presents from Santa!
 Little Rylee Roo Roo's presents from Santa!
 Mom, Dad, and family presents.  Growing up as a child Santa always arranged all our presents together in a pile for each child.  We use to love it.  We would run downstairs, find our stocking to know which presents were ours!  Josh and I have different opinions on how Santa should leave the gifts!  Santa always just left all of their presents under the tree.  I think I have won on this dispute because of my OCDness! I like everything organized and tidy and ready to go.
 J.J. and Bailey woke up at about 7:30 Christmas morning ready to open presents.  Which is their normal wake up time.  Poor Addi was just so exhausted from all the partying and just can not keep up with her older brother and sister.  We made the older kids try and wait for Addi to wake up, but she wasn't and they were just way too excited to make them wait longer.  So we started without her and Rylee!  Rylee slept until we were ready to leave the house.  We had to wake her up.
 So exciting and fun to see Christmas through your children's eyes.  It makes the holidays so fun and priceless.
 This was our family present.  We our so excited to play it together as a family and make some great memories spending time together.
 Addi trying to wake up so she can open her presents!
 So excited for her Doc Mcstuffin and Lamby.  She is continually singing the Doc Mctuffins song.
 Rylee got a Dora book and little stuffed animal.
 We are not so good about taking pictures of the two of us!  So here we are Christmas morning.  Could not be feeling more loved or blessed.  This man of mine is amazing.
 All she wanted for Christmas was makeup!  Man, I am in trouble.  She thinks she is sixteen already and has the attitude of a sixteen year old too.  She looks like a real live barbie.  She could not have been any happier when she saw that santa brought her two things of make-up and lip gloss.
 This little man wanted a really fast remote control car, a train, and a scooter.  Luckily for Santa, all things were found for great deals on Black Friday shopping.  I would say we had four happy little kids that all got what they wished for!
I finally was able to surprise Josh with an I-pad mini for his schooling and church work.  I usually can not pull off any surprises so it was fun that he had no idea what he was getting.  Josh surprised me with a new road bike so I can finally do a triathlon like I have been wanting to do.  I was beyond excited and can not wait to start training. 
We went over to Bev and Jerry's for a delicious breakfast.  Had a great time spending time together and the highlight was getting to skype Josh's brother Jordan on his mission.  He gets to come home the beginning of April.  It is crazy to think he has been gone almost two years.  We are so proud of him and  can not wait for April.

Christmas Eve


 Christmas Eve we spent at Bev and Jerry's house.  We had a wonderful dinner, had a visit from santa, had a wonderful Christmas lesson given by Jerry, and a re-enactment of the nativity by the kids!  Josh spent a few of his hours teaching his institute class at the state prison.  What a great man I married to give up a few of his hours on Christmas Eve that he could be spending with his own family, to spend with those he teaches and knew would need some up lifting.

Rylee's first Christmas.  Poor thing was still not feeling 100% better.  Still teething, but still such a great happy baby.  Ten months old.  She is crawling everywhere.  Climbs up the stairs.  Stands and walks along things.  Says Momma and Dadda. Is the easiest going baby we have had.  She is such a little angel and has brought nothing but joy and happiness to our family.


 Notice Bailey's sun tan dance tights.  Lately, these are her favorite things to wear.  She thinks they should be a part of every outfit.  I have decided whatever makes her happy.  It is not worth the battle, nor my energy to fight her on it!
 My stud muffin. Seriously, look how big he is getting.
 This little lady has the funniest personality I have ever seen.  She is so loving, sweet, and full of personality.
 She was a little hesitant at first about Santa, but was ok because she was getting a present!
 Ry Ry, on the other hand did not want anything to do with him!
 Such a fun age for Santa.  He loved him.  He asked if Santa was Grandpa, and I persuaded him that it wasn't!  I do not think we will be that lucky next year!
 She was so excited and waited so nice and patiently for her turn.  She is such a beauty.
 Some of the cousins and their matching pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa.

 J.J. got this cute little packet from school.  They were all so excited to sprinkle it outside for the reindeer.  J.J., Bailey, and Addi are all at such fun ages for Christmas.  Being a parent is so fun especially around the holidays.
 The kids wanted to give Chippy a kiss before he went back to the North Pole.  Santa said it was fine and he wouldn't loose his magic.  The kids love Chippy so much.  It was so cute to see them all give him a kiss and say their goodbyes!



J.J. kept telling Josh that he was going to go on the Polar Express while everyone was sleeping.  Right after all the kids fell fast asleep the "Polar Express" or "Dad" came for J.J. and he was so exhausted he did not even budge. It was too funny.  I just love my J.J. and his creativity.
